June 30, 2017, Friday — Cutter Cove to Wahkana Bay, Gilford Island —

The wind blew all night, and was still blowing about 10 to 15 knots this morning.  It’s got to be really ugly out in Johnstone Strait.  We’d decided to check out Wahkana Bay, off Tribune Channel, just 21.5 miles from Cutter. 

Wahkana Bay is a very pretty anchorage, with a beautiful little creek at the head.  As soon as we anchored, I had my kayak in the water. 

I paddled for a couple of hours and all I saw in the way of birds was this lone Pigeon Guillemot.

 

I did, however, find this lovely little hidden creek at the head of the bay.

 

 

 

I spotted this First Nations sign above the creek indicating that this is unceded Native Indian territory. 

 

As I looked back at Jubilación, I figured Al probably had dinner ready and I’d better not be late.
