Great anchorages no wind


July 14
From Corney Cove, we motored up Laredo Inlet through Thistle Passage, another narrow passage, but with adequate water under the keel. We've seen few boats, but were passed by a couple of power boats heading the opposite direction. We anchored in Bay of Plenty (who could resist that name?!) and stopped to drop the prawn trap on the way in. We were alone in the anchorage (except for the mosquitoes, who apparently appreciated the delivery of fresh food).

We were given to believe that there was a very good chance of seeing bears in the streams that flow into the bay but no luck. They must be around however as Abby wouldn't go very far from the water's edge even though there were some open spaces to run. She kept looking toward the woods and was walking around on tip-toes most of the time. It is the placewhere you really need to sit for a couple of days and then things might get very interesting.

We were also skunked in our efforts to have a Prawn dinner.

Off to Otter Passage.

Cheers Turicum
