Brooks Peninsula

Saturday morning we headed out early to conquer the challenge rounding the Brooks Peninsula. The Brooks Peninsula sticks way out from the coastline like a square thumb.

It is 11 miles along the north side to get to the end and around Cape Cook. And the weather can be pretty nasty if the wind is blowing.

Lilly had such good travel day the day before. She was medicated and slept the whole trip. I decided to give her the Gabapentin again and put her in the crate. She was obviously anxious! She barfed before we even pulled the anchor !

The wind was minimal and the seas were 1.2 meters on 18 seconds ! It was fabulous. Overcast but no fog. Couldn’t ask for more !

Cape Cook
Looking for whales and Puffins

We spotted a number of Tufted Puffins and a few Humpback whales, as well as lots of Sea Otters along the way.

We ended up at an anchorage in the Burnaby Island called Little Hollywood. A bit of a nail biter to enter but lovely and quiet. The main anchorage had 4 sailboats!

Looking towards an old First Nation Village sight.

We have yet to figure out why it is called Little Hollywood. This is the name given in the Dream Speaker book. No explanation was given.
