New Season 2009

Well I had thought it was about time I up dated this blog....not much of a blogger!!!!
The start of the season is going well.
We start with a gradual opening with the Cabins on May 1st, then the Restaurant on May8th and the General Store with limited hours.
The May long weekend went well with The Top Island Econauts hosting their annual dive extravaganza. Divers came from the Lower Mainland and South Island to join in the festivities. Always a huge success.
We have some of our seasonal campers starting to show up, which makes it nice for Adrienne up in the campsite, not so lonely and quiet.
The prawning and crabbing have been plentiful!! Halibut fishing was off to a good start. Roy and Leo had a few guys out on a charter and from what I understand they did very well, the guys had a fantastic time on the water. Al McDonald (seasonal camper) caught himself a nice 85 pound halibut the other day. Nice Fish!!!!
The Spring Salmon as starting to show up as well. Conrad & Mary Porth caught a nice 27 pounder from the back side of Malcolm Island.
We have the Van Isle 360 arriving here on June 10th. Look out for those sail boats!!!!
Tide Rip Tours have been going out almost daily with their Grizzly Bear Tours.
Stubbs Island Whale Watching have started with their Natural History Tours.
North Island Kayak is up and running as well with their rentals and tours.
Dates to remember;
August 1st ....Telegraph cove Craft Fair.
August 2nd...Telegraph cove Fishing Derby with the proceeds going to the Salmon Enhancement.
