We left Prideaux Haven and set out for Refuge Cove. Refuge Cove is noted to be the busiest place in Desolation Sound. It is not in the Marine Park proper so there is a store, fuel dock, garbage barge and café.
We wanted to take a picture of the store as the ones we had seen really made it look like the last outpost of civilization. Well it was an extremely busy place, even the garbage barge. A man named Dave set up the barge and for a small fee you can leave your trash there, as all the Marine parks are pack in and pack out with no facilities for water or trash. We did not have a need to unload our trash at that time. 
Refuge Cove was very crowded with no docking space, we took our pictures from the boat and headed for Lund. We had stayed at Lund before, but had not explored the city itself, we thought we might do that. However, when we arrived at Lund the place was full. It seems that the vacation season had hit its peak in Canada. There was no place for us to dock or anchor. We could burn diesel and wait for someone to leave, however West View/Powel River was about 2 hours away and we knew we could dock there. So off we went. We arrived at West View at about 4:30 and they did have room so we pulled in for the night.
