We woke up socked-in with fog, so we decided to go up into Sooke Basin to the Sunny Shores Resort & Marina where there was shore side power on the docks, and showers, laundry facilities and warm sunshine. It is about a three-mile trip through a tricky shoal water channel, and after getting tied down at the rickety old docks we did our chores and played a round of miniature golf located on the resort grounds. That was even more rickety than the docks. The holes weren’t numbered, nor was a par listed on the score sheet. This frustrated the Captain, but he beat me any way. We dined aboard Teal and retired for the night.June 4,2007:
The next morning we awoke to cloudy skies, but no fog so we cast off and made our way to the harbor entrance and turned right for another leg up the coast to Port San Juan.The trip, after we got by the lumpy seas at Sheringham Point and the last tiderip (opposing currents) was smooth, easy, and fast on fair currents. We checked out the anchoring possibilities in Port San Juan,
and after suffering rolling seas at Thrasher Cove we went into Snuggery Cove,
and tied up to the government dock at Port Renfrew with the sport fishing fleet. 
Besides the two hotels, a restaurant currently closed for remodeling, and a nice pub, there is not much going on at Port Renfrew at this time of year.June 5, 2007:
Under dark cloudy skies, on calm but lumpy seas we headed up the coast to Barkley Sound. The skies grew lighter and the trip was fairly easy on fair currents except for suffering the lumpy ride at all the points and headlands.
By the time we made Pachena Point the sun was breaking through the thin cloud layer and we enjoyed warm sunshine the remainder of the trip into Trevor Channel and on to Bamfield.
Bamfield has two sides, The Mills Peninsula side and the Vancouver Island side. The inlet between is called Main Street by the locals, and has to be crossed by boat - there is no other way.
The Mills Peninsula side where we tied to the Fisheries Dock, (48° 49.755’ N / 125° 08.105’ W) has a quaint boardwalk at waters edge leading from the dock to the business section; a store, Post Office, and Coast Guard station.
This is a quaint village divided by water. The kids on the west side take a boat to school every day. The school size is similar to Klamath River. The Bamfield School has 20 students – K-10. I asked a youngster what happens when you get thru 10th grade. He replied, “You move, or do school on the Internet.” Interesting choice. We found wireless here, but don’t have the password. We’ll investigate tomorrow.June 6, 2007:
We awoke to a steady rain which continues at this writing. Later we will go to the Government dock on “other-side” and check out the “rest of the story”. By early afternoon the rain let up and we motored across main street and tied to the government docks on the other side, and took our empty propane bottle up to the marine supply to get it refilled. We considered mooring there, but we found 3 different price lists as to how much the docking fee was. To eliminate the confusion and since there wasn’t much more to explore anyway, we bought a few things at the grocery store and returned to the west side. We mailed a few cards, and visited that store to finish shopping for things we needed. We went back to the fisheries dock for the night.
