June 3 – Turnbull Cove

Turnbull RouteWe poked a little further along the way north but stayed in the protected waters of the Broughton’s.  Today’s destination was Turnbull Cove just off of Grappler Sound.  In 2007 we visited a couple of nearby anchorages but based on the recommendations of another boater at Waddington Bay we decided to give Turnbull Cove a try.

Turnbull AnchorageWe pulled anchor shortly after 9 AM and had the anchor down and secured in Turnbull Cove just shy of 1:30 PM.  We tend to cruise around 7 knots, plus or minus, depending on the current.   Today we had a bit of both.

After we arrived, we had lunch and then dropped the kayaks in the water.  From the north shore of the cove is a short trail to a very large lake (visible just above the cove in the chart to the left). 

Despite the rain shower (rain drops visible in the photo below) it was a lovely walk in the woods.

Today’s Mileage – 26.9 miles

Cumulative Mileage – 370.3 miles
