Fog on Fyfe

 

Shawl of Shawl Bay

 



Shawl bay is named for the Shawl of fog that shrouds the top of the mountain that encircle it, not all the time but in the morning and many times in the evening. It is an old floating logging camp that now provides a cool gathering place for the yachties in the Broughtons.  Lorne Brown is the proprietor and along with Tracy greets and makes everyone feel welcome.

 

If your thoughts are tying up at a top drawer establishment this is not the place for you. It has it all the character of the older float homes slightly listing with their soggy logs.  There is old machinery strewn about in the far corners.  It is a bit like going to a deserted logging camp with cool stuff stashed about.
