Prideaux Haven

The weather has been a little cool and grey the past few days.

We had calm seas for our motor up to Prideaux Haven. The anchorage was not busy and we were able to get the spot that Jim always likes to go. We love the big vistas there. A little too overcast to get any good photos.

Jim changed the zincs on the prop and the rudder off the stern as well as the bow thrusters off the bow.

The water was a little cooler than it was last time he did this in Prideaux Haven in June with Sharon. I think that was 2021. It was 19c.

He was in the water for about 90 minutes because he dropped the allen key when he was working on the bow thruster and had to find another one that was the same size. First one was too big – second one was too small ! So he was pretty cold by the time the job was done.

We rigged up the salmon net to hold the zincs and supplies needs. The allen key and bolts and such in a little baggie. I could lower and lift the net as he needed items. That worked quite well. Although Sharon’s help was better !

After the zincs were changed and Jim was warm we pulled anchor and headed up to Von Donop Inlet. We had some friends we haven’t seen for years anchored up there so it was a good chance for a visit. And it was a lovely visit.

This morning we are heading to Shoal Bay. Up through “The Dents”. We are trying to move along quickly as we are a week behind now.
