We have another good traveling day. I could get used to this. And, we only have 6.5 miles to go to Kwakume Inlet. In less than an hour, we’re anchored in our usual spot just south of the little islet at the North end of the inlet. A sailboat is anchored on the other side of the islet, hidden from our view. Very nice.
We’ve arrived early enough that I’m able to get a paddle in before dinner. I headed for the lagoon at the South end of the inlet. Unfortunately, it’s low tide, and because it’s a spring tide, there isn’t enough water for me to get into the lagoon. So, I headed for the entrance to the inlet, hoping to find some interesting birds.
I spotted this huge log just inside the entrance.
It was such a beautiful calm day that I decided to venture outside into Fitz Hugh Sound in search of photo ops.
I didn’t have to paddle very long before I spotted these Harlequin Ducks resting on the rocky shore.
I’d just got back to the boat, and was down below changing out of my kayaking gear, when I heard Al shout, “We’ve got company.”
It was Bernadette and Larry, off the sailboat, Airloom. We’d met Bernadette and Larry a couple of years ago in Kisameet. They were the sailboat anchored behind the little islet. We hadn’t recognized their boat. What a nice surprise. Bernadette and Larry had been out fishing and brought us a nice little cod fish. They were on their way south to meet up with their son in Rivers Inlet.
It had been a busy day. So, after a delicious dinner of fresh cod, we sipped a glass of wine and enjoyed a spectacular sunset.
