We left Zeballos! Finally! It was still quite windy but we decided it was time. We were there for 5 nights. We were lucky to get a spot at the dock.
It was getting really hot and muggy there. We went out for another walk.
We walked along a trail on the other side of the flood plain. It started to get quite steep up the hill and required a bit of bush whacking so we turned around. And it was getting hot!
We really enjoyed Zeballos. Suk posted some interesting history in the comments of the last post. The town is really well cared for by the residents who are still there.
Travelling on the east side of Nootka Island we went by Esperanza. There is a small Christian camp there. And a fuel dock for the fishing boats.
We spent two nights in Santa Gertrudis Bay.
The wind started to pick up the last few miles and we were into 25 knots just before getting to Santa Gertrudis.
Just after we dropped the anchor a couple of sailboats came in and anchored up.
It is a lovely little bay. We were here two years ago. With the winds it was a bit more rolly than we remembered.
The next day we put the skiff in the water and spent the day in Friendly Cove at Yuquout. That will be the next post.

Hello, Pam,
most pictures you post are beautiful but the last 2 of this posting are especially stunning. They will make a beautiful coffee table book.
love the name Nootka and there is an elementary school in Vancouver with that name. I learned from Google that Nootka is a Wakashan language, Northwest aboriginal language. How refreshing. Knowing that those places you have been traveling can only be accessed by a boat or a float plane, I am enjoying those places traveling vicariously. One of my neighbors walks her cat “ Benoo “ on a leash, and both the cat and the human enjoy their walk. I wonder whether Lily would enjoy her new adventure going outside of the boat. if I were Lily, I would for sure.
looking forward to your next blog.
