It was a rainy start from Daswons Landing this morning but it soon let up and by the end of the day we had patches of blue. One blessing of the frequent rain we have had is that the boat deck is staying pretty clean and we have no salt crusting on the boat.
Today’s route retraced our waypoints back along Darby Channel into Fitz Hugh Sound. After only a dozen miles, we hung a sharp left and headed almost due west in Kwakshua Channel to its head at Pruth Bay.
Immediately after we dropped our anchor, two Nordic Tug 42’s pulled in and dropped their’s. We aren’t anti-social but being by yourself in an anchorage (as we were at Allison Harbour), is a special treat. We had chosen the bay to the south of the main anchorage because the guides indicated it
Perhaps it was our negative vibes or perhaps it was their plan all along but after a lunch break the Nordic Tugs hoisted their anchors and headed out of the area totally. A delightful anchorage to ourselves.
After lunch, we dropped the kayaks in the water and paddled over to the west head of the bay. From there you walk a quarter mile or so to West Beach, a lovely sandy beach open to the ocean swells. I’ll do a bigger write-up of that activity with photos tomorrow.
Today’s mileage – 25.6
Cumulative mileage – 483.3
