It is very quiet in Pruth Bay this year when we motored in to the anchorage. Only two other boat. Some years there could be over 20 boats in there. Although it think the salmon fishing is not quite happening yet.
We didn’t see any university students working around the labs there either. Just a small skeleton maintenance staff.
As soon as we dropped the anchor and dropped the skiff we went to Hakai dingy dock and headed straight to the beach.
Walking on the beach we ran into Bob and Lois from the SV Passages. They used to own the Desolation Sound Charters back in 2012 when we first ventured into boating and charted the Gulf Mariner and poked our way into Desolation Sounds. We had a great catch up ! We also had a nice visit with them back in 2015 in the Bay of Plenty.
We have been following the Race to Alaska – R2AK – again this year. A number of the boats have been travelling in and around where we have been travelling. We saw the winning Trimaran – Team Malolo – just south of Calvert Island as we were heading to Fury Cove.
On our way to Pruth Bay we saw another boat. I took a couple of photos. I’m pretty sure it was Team Roscoe Pickle Train.
They have now arrived in Ketchican Alaska.
