We left the anchorage at Squirrel Cove and planned to make a stop at the the small public dock to visit the nearby store. Since it was low tide, I was concerned about the depth of the water along side the dock. We could see the shore line and the very low tide exposing quite a bit of beach but a quick check of the chart showed 13 feet along side the dock at low tide which was more than adequate since we draw just a little over 5 feet. We made the approach to the dock but since there was a small boat tied up in the middle, the areas ahead of and behind the boat had less dock footage available for our length of boat. We decided to make the approach to the end of the dock ahead of the boat already moored there and coasted into the space easily but with about 10 feet of Thor hanging off the end of the dock. We were adequately secured however and only planned to be there for a short time while we visited the store.

After picking up a few groceries, we cast off the dock and headed toward our next destination of Tenedos Bay. It was a beautiful morning with mostly sun but no wind to speak of and we motored the 8 miles to Tenedos. Upon our arrival, we dropped the anchor in 65 feet of water and again took a stern line ashore and tied to an arbutus tree. The only other boat in the anchorage happened to be Talos IV whom we had not seen since leaving Ballet Bay 4 days ago. Another boat, Emerald Steel, (whom we had not seen since Chatterbox Falls) arrived in the anchorage a short time later.

Today we took a short hike to a beautiful freshwater lake...the sun was shining and the temperature warmer. It was a nice afternoon laying in the sun on the large rocks at the lakeside. I was tempted to take a swim but after Lorrie mentioned something about hearing about leeches, I changed my mind. I new she was joking, but...I reminded her of the bears in the area and listened to her shouting out "Shoo Bears! Shoo Bears!" as we hiked back to the beach where we left the dinghy. I was smiling all the way. Oh, forgot to mention the very large wolf footprint in the mud on the trail...I kid you not! We took a picture to prove it! But we have yet to catch a glimpse of a bear or a wolf for that matter!
