4th

How we celebrated 4th of July in Kyuquot Sound Petroglyph Cove. Charley caught 2 rock fish and a lingcod for a fish fry. While cleaning the fish I stabbed Charley's thumb and had to suture it to stop the bleeding(he is just fine no big deal but you wouldn't know it). I went kayaking. A sea otter followed [...]

Cape Caution

Very smooth crossing past Cape Caution. Low swell, winds less than 5 knots and a bit of a push with the current. Left Bull Harbor about 0515 riding the last of the flood around the south part of the island and then set course to Fitz Hugh Sound.

Left Quatsino Sound today .Currently south of Brooks Peninsula(seas calm no wind for sailing) in Scow Bay in the Bunsby Islands. 6 nights in Quatsino Sound. Julian Cove, Winter Harbor and Browning Inlet Julian Cove is approximately 15 miles into the sound close to Quatsino Narrows leading to Coal Harbor. What is amazing or somewhat annoying is Coal Harbor is only 12 miles from Port Hardy via a nice road which can be traveled with little attention to wind forecast or currents. When comparing this to all the planning needed to come via Cape Scott (ie current, wind forecast and sea height plus a 24 hour travel time to Coal Harbor from Port Hardy)one has to ask a similiar question asked of mountain climbers, why? It is easily answered with a 3 night stay in Julian Cove, a side tour of Quatsino Narrows and Varney Bay. The answer: because it's there and it is very pretty. Must mention the logging is very active and visible. Frequently hear blasting in the hills for logging road construction and the heavy machinery. this is our 3rd visit here. The first we recall clear cut to the shore. This practice has changed and the shore is protected by at least 100yd boarder between the shore and logged area. Helps with the view but most importantly should help with the restoration of the salmon runs. Sports fishing is the second industry here. Fishing lodges have replaced commercial fish canneries and small speedy fishing boats(trailable from Port Hardy via gravel road 1.5 hour trip) have replaced the commercial fishing trollers. Weather has been windy last few days but partly cloudy, short periods of rain mixed with enough sun to keep the batteries reasonably charged and the crew happy. Spent Tuesday and Wednesday at Winter Harbour secondary to gale moving across the island. We were the only cruiser at the dock until about 7pm when a 40 foot cruising troller showed up. They had come around Cape Scott in the gale. seas 12ft winds 40 to 50 knots. They were beat and frankly terrified. Said they left Bull Harbour knowing there was a gale forecast but didn't expect it to materialize so quickly. We Left them at the dock in Winter Harbour today, skipper still locked in the cabin and his wife wondering if he will ever leave Winter Harbour. We too have made strange decisions and hope their experience will delay our next one. FYI: The strange subject heading has to do with this getting posted on a blog.
