We left Powell River around 7:00 and headed for Hotham Sound which connects to Jervis Inlet.
It was a beautiful passage with quite calm water. Bob and Betty fished -again uneventful! We arrived at Egmont around noon. We had heard the currents might be tricky so asked for dock assistance. It was a good thing as the currents were somewhat tricky and turning the boat toward the dock was a bit of a challenge. Once docked we noticed that the water in the bay looked more river like than other marinas we had stayed at. Several folks were fishing on the dock-many were catching mud sharks and cooking them head and all. We choose not to participate in that activity. This marina had a large camping area, rooms for rent, and a beautiful lodge that overlooked the bay. We had dinner at the lodge and the food and view were both exceptional. Before leaving for Princess Louisa Inlet, a fellow boater talked with us about Malibu Rapids, an area you need to go through at slack tide. It is located near Malibu Camp, a Young Life facility for teenagers. We determined we should leave about 8:00 or so the next morning, to reach Malibu Rapids at the appropriate time.
