We left Kanish Bay at 8:30 am. We had an ebb tide and a 15-20 kt SE
wind. For five hours we sailed at between 7 and 8 kts. We motored the
last two hours arriving in Port Neville around 2:30 pm. We tied up at
the public dock where we were greeted by Chet McArthum of the Coastal
Mission. They are a group preaching the bible up and down the coast from
Washington to Alaska.They are based out of Chemanis on Vancouver
Island.Their boat is called Coastal Messenger. They have leased the
property near the public dock formely owned by the Hansans, orginally
from Norway, who have lived here since 1891. They opened a store when the
wharf was built in 1928.The lease was effective April 1 and they are
preparing to settle in. Chet told us the site would be used as a
training site for some of the helpers to become accustomed to coastal
living. There are a few other inhabitants around the bay but it is a really
secluded place. You can view the Coastal Messenger at
