Prawns and Bears and Kwatsi Bay

Jim notes that my last post was titled Port McNeill to Kwatsi Bay and I only got to Mound Island!

We left Mound Island and went back to the dock and Minstrel Island where we got the prawn pots ready to go. Left the dock and went to a little bay about an hour away up Knight Inlet. We dropped the pots and went back to the dock for the night.

The next morning we got going early because the wind was expected to come up in the afternoon. We went back to the bay and pulled up the pots. We put down 4 prawn pots.

After pulling the pots we motored across Knight Inlet and through Sargeaunt Passage to go to Kwatsi Bay dock. Another one of our favourite docks in the Broughtons. We like to visit with Max and his wife Anka if she’s here. And during the usual season there are dinner pot lucks and happy hours on the dock. Of course this is not a normal season!

It was nice to see Max. The marina is up for sale so it could be his last year here. We saw a cougar here one year. I have photos of that exciting event! We’ve met some lovely boaters on the dock here.

There was another boat come in to the dock when we were here – a 21 ft Ranger Tug. We had a socially distanced visit but they didn’t spent the night. We stayed two nights. And had a wonderful prawn and penne pasta for my birthday dinner!
