August 17, 2017, Thursday — Quigley Creek Cove to Alston Cove, Laredo Inlet —

This morning we’re heading another 6 miles up Laredo Inlet to Alston Cove. It’s still raining off and on, but not enough to ruin the beautiful scenery along the way.

As soon as we had the anchor down I launched my kayak and went to check out Blee Creek.

 

 

There is a large grassy area and drying mud flat at the head of the cove.  Hiding in the tall grass and Yarrow I spotted these Canadian Honkers.

 

 

 

Along the shore was this beautiful Greater Yellowlegs posing for the camera.

 

 

There was no way to get any farther up Blee Creek because of the rapids.

 

 

So, I paddled all along the shoreline, where I spotted this lovely waterfall.
