Friendly Cove

After leaving Nutchatlitz we travelled the east side of Nootka Island. Hecate Channel – It was a lovely calm and narrow channel with a few little new and old communities along the way.

We were very close to Tahsis BC which was just up the end of Tahsis Inlet. We did not go in to Tahsis as we were planning to go to Tofino in a few days to take Sharon to the airport.

We anchored up in Santa Gertrudis Bay. It was a lovely little bay just around the corner from Friendly Bay. Just south of Nootka on the map.

There was a lot of sports fishing going on all around us. We managed to catch up with Steve again who came down with another friend of Jim’s and they were catching salmon. Nootka Island is a very popular sports fishing spot. The fishing was better in Winter Harbour according to Steve.

We spent two nights in Santa Gertrudis Bay so we could visit the small community of Yuquot in Friendly Cove.

We put out the hummingbird feeder I bought in Port McNeill after the hummingbirds came calling !
