Bottleneck Cove

After Friendly Cove we had plans to spend the night in Hot Spring Cove and walk the boardwalk to the hot springs. That did not work out as planned.

Phoenix Hunter was too large to tie up at the dock – maximum length was 40 feet.

We anchored up for a while but it was blowing 15-18 knots. It was full of fast boats coming and going – and float planes ! The dock was full of tour boats. We estimated there were 50-60 people in the hot springs. We didn’t take the skiff down because it was too windy.

We decided to wait for the tour boats to leave and go to the dock for a bit and then walk to the hot springs. We went to the dock at 4:30. And we were informed that the hot springs were only open from 11-5 everyday. That wasn’t listed anywhere! So in the end we left and went to a lovely quiet and calm little spot called Bottleneck Cove.

Sharon was particularly fond of my friend Suk’s raspberry jam and has eaten most of it ! I told her I’d better take a photo of it before it was all gone !
