Nutchatlitz

Nutchatlitz is another Provincial Marine Park.

We stayed two night at a lovely anchorage with cabins and cottages on the shore. We met up with some Kadey Krogen friends – Lynn and Neal and their two Maine Coon cats. Lynn and Neal have a 48 foot Kadey Krogen and Jim has boat envy. It is a beautiful boat ! We went over for an afternoon tea visit. They had a cantaloupe!

Sharon and I went for a walk on shore. We were able to walk all the way around a small island. There are a number of homes and cabins. I didn’t take my phone so I didn’t get any photos. Jim dropped us off on shore with the skiff – which is still sputtering along. Good thing we bought the paddles in Port Hardy!

Jim wanted to put down some prawn pots just outside the anchorage. So we did. We put them out in the early morning and then pulled as we were leaving the next day. We had a small bet going as to how many prawns we would get – I said six. Sharon said 20 and Jim said 50.

Hagfish

All we got was a couple of hagfish. According to Jim they are the most disgusting fish in the world and they creep him out. They produce a sticky slime that is gross. So for a biologist to hate a fish you know it’s pretty bad!

  1. It is a lovely sunny, breezy and not too hot summer day in Vancouver and I enjoy reading your blog. Love the name, Nutchatlitz. I can look it up what it means but I assume it’s an aboriginal name.
    Hagfish sounded so disgusting that I looked it up on Google. Surprise! Apparently, hagfish is popular food eaten by men in Korea as aphrodisiac! I don’t know whether or not it is scientifically proven. Hagfish isn’t in the eel family but its Korean name is prefix+ eel. You should tell your biologist husband, Jim about that.
