June 23rd

June 23^rd We leave the peace and the serenity of FURY COVE with no perceived destination, perhaps, perhaps,,,,, I don’t know? We will go till we make up our minds.

BC Ferry at Cape Calvert

We leave Hakai Pass to our port and fond memories come back of Sea Otter Creek Bay that we visited last year comes to mind.

We see a sail boat heading to the same destination but the vessel continues past the bay, so we get it all to ourselves, with a small sigh of relief. Gone are the rope traps that fouled the passage to a safe anchorage deep in the bay. 



West Sea Otter

We launch the “Ravens” as the priority for shore duty is important for are little girl (rat dog). Penny encourages us to go fishing.  So Chevy and I get organized and off we go so she can have some space. I had varnished up my mahogany wood fish reals (PEEZ) and polished the chosen lures to go kill me a fish maybe. I am not very good at dispatching a live creature but it is food for the pot as our old and departed friend Brian Stanhope used to say. This is the same location that I latched on to a very large halibut last year and we decided that he or she was not to be dinner. 

We were worried about the weather for a time as the weather channel had been forecasting high winds.

The bay was a perfect hidey hole.  Penny & Chevy toured the bay in the kayak and were followed by mom seal and her put, inches a way.

 The weather front must have gone over us, so we spent two nights here enjoying the calm.
