June 29, 2008

The summer weather has decided to bless us here at the Cove, we have had some nice sunny days and it looks like this week will be a real nice one. Things are in full swing at Telegraph Cove, we have even had some springs come in over the last couple of weeks. Not many but a few, hopefully it will start to pick up when the Orca's arrive, but there is no site of them yet.
Gordie and Sally(Gordie & Marilyn's Dog) were out fishing and snagged a nice 30 lb spring and the halibut fishing has been good hear this season lots of nice big ones coming in, Roy was out with a charter and brought in a nice 60 lb halibut. Lots of people walking around visiting the shops and our new coffee shop. Looks like we will be very busy July and August, so if your wanting to come visit and stay you better phone and see what is left available in our cabins on the boardwalk. Remember we also have a nice campsite that is up in a treed area and there are still campsites left available.

Remember we are having our annual Craft Fair here at Telegraph Cove on the Boardwalk on Aug. 2, 2008, for more information please call the office at 250-928-3131.

Telegraph Cove Resort 2008 Season

Telegraph Cove Resort has opened for it's 2008 season, we opened May 1 and things are going well. Something new to report Gordie has opened a coffee shop, the Cove Coffee Company and it is located where Mrs. P's little store was just down past the Killer Whale Cafe. The Whale Watching tours have been going out for a couple of weeks now they saw a Humpback Whale on June 7 and have been seeing lots of Dall's Porpoise, harbour seals, steller seal lions, duck and bald eagles. The resident orca's have not arrived yet but they will be coming soon enough. The Grizzly Bear tours have also been going out and have been seeing lots of grizzly bears and along the way have been seeing lots of marine wild life. Things are picking up fast here at the Cove, cabins booking up fast for July and August and don't forget about our Craft Fair on Aug. 2 here on the boardwalk.
As for the fishing is was slow going in the beginning, but then the halibut started coming in we had some guests come in with a 77lb and 68lb halibut. On June 7th we had our first Spring Salmon of the season come in 28lbs caught by Janet Baker. Maybe this is a sign that the springs are coming early.
