We spent two nights in a lovely little spot on Hunter Island.
Jim and I have been here before and really liked walking on the “lovely little tombolo” as described in the book “ Cruising the Secret Coast” by James and Jennifer Hamilton.
We were not able to go about on the skiff this time. Sharon decided to try the stand up paddle board as a Kayak with the seat.
When she came back to Phoenix Hunter she had a little difficulty getting from the sitting position of the kayak to the swim step of the big boat. Usually she was in a standing position. And she fell in the water. That was exciting! She easily got back on the paddle board and climbed on the swim step. But was pretty wet – and a wet phone ! All was well in the end and the phone seemed to survive. Thank goodness the phone survived !
We have had a couple of nice days traveling to the next couple of anchorages.
The next anchorage was an unnamed spot that Jim was told about from William Kelly one of the authors of a book called “ Anchorage’s of the Inside Passage” by Anne Vipond. It was a very pretty little spot.
This little sailboat was anchored up when we arrived and about an hour after we got there they hauled anchor and left. Around one o’clock in the afternoon. We were a little worried we chased them off. Jim chatted with them as they left. They said we didn’t cause them to leave but they were surprised to see another boat come in to the bay.
I went out for a little kayak tour of the anchorage. I was a little worried I might fall in after Sharon’s adventure the day before !
We really liked this quiet little anchorage. It was on the west side of Campbell Island. There were 3 little stream coming into the bay. Flat calm for paddling about. We spent only one night here and on to the next stop – Klemtu
