Landing in Lund
We got back August 21st from the "end of the road" -- Lund, BC. Friends "from India" (they live in North Vancouver, BC, and they're not Indians, actually) went up the inland waters between the "lower mainland" (the landmass that includes Vancouver, BC where we're spending our summers) in their boat. We drove up to meet them. It's about 100 miles, but requires not one but two ferries -- for a net average speed of about 13 mph. On of the pair is pictured here, on the right side of the photo -- Libby.
The journey was scenic, but this region, while called the "Sunshine Coast", didn't really live up to its name, for our weekend. But we brought dinner for ourselves and our friends, and prepared it on their boat, quaffed wine and swapped tales. Blake and Libby are great folks and we really enjoy their company.
The 2nd day we spent on the water with them, visiting nearby islands and cruising the scenery. Drank too much and talked too much.
Lund is sort of the "end of the road" -- really the last real town (full time population about 800) as you head north on Rt 101 along the Sunshine Coast. It has that small town community feel, no doubt enhanced by it being "Lund Dayz"-- an annual event with a flea market (benefit to the local fire department), music, clowns... apparently a big deal in a sleepy town.
