Catching up with the next few posts several days late as we have just popped back up on the grid. We made our way to Simoom Sound and found a few pretty little anchorages among soaring cliffs and mountains. Unfortunately, where we set anchor, we also found a sign on the beach left by a poor fellow who watched a cougar eat his dog a couple of years ago. We are now in country where bears and cougars are to be watched for. We have not seen any Grizzlies, but have seen black bears from tiny cubs to formidable mommies and daddies. As the picture above shows, their presence on the low tide beaches, digging up clams, etc. makes Biscuit trips to the beach a bit problematic. Also shown above is the solution. Most of these anchorages have little, treeless islands where we can let the Biscuit roam with less chance of a surprise and a wide open field of view. We would have liked to stay longer in Simoom Sound, Viner Sound, and a few other places, but..... on we went to more Biscuit-friendly environs.
