Horsefly Cove

July 13^th HOOK DOWN, HORSEFLY COVE

This is a gorgeous little bay with perfect pee islands for Chevy to romp and play on. We are tucked into the bay with an island as our security blanket. We have it all to ourselves. The sun comes and goes; we sleep tight, while the anchor chain growls on the rocky bottom. I find it comforting as long as I can hear it growling just a little as we are secure.  Put the crab trap out NO LUCK.

We take a fast run in “Ravens” to the head of Green Inlet see Mother Nature in action. There is a tidal lagoon and the tide has fallen now.  Tons and tons of water are spilling into the inlet from the lagoon above. IT TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY WITH ITS POWER.

We take another day to appreciate this great anchorage. We leave the radio set on 09 and 16 not a peep on it from traveling boaters that are in transit out on PRINCESS ROYAL CHANNEL. This is the only root north on the inside passage. It rains hard in the night but there clear patches in the morning. We float in still glacial water a perfect reflection echoed of OA. You could take a picture of the boat turn it upside down and not know which the right way is up.

I check the engines out and the starboard has lost about 2 quarts of coolant. The coolant has slowly dropping down since it was changed before we left. I top up and put some bars leak and see if that holds. Check out the Batteries and 2 cells are down, may be nothing BUT have to monitor. Watched the CTV news and weather on TV. Vancouver is finally getting a little rain.

 We have visitors in are little bay tonight. A 34 Camano and fancy 45 ft sail boat. The person on the sail boat takes about an hour in the rain to stern tie on a steep cliff. He manages, but I want to go over and give him a hand. But the Admiral says “let it be!” No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!
