Since I want to be at Bay of Plenty during the next spring tide, we’ve decided we’d better move on to Fifer Cove today, just 12 miles up Laredo Inlet.
It’s raining when we arrive at Fifer, but I decide to go for a paddle anyway. The creek from Bloomfield Lake empties into the head of the cove. As you can see, you can look right through from Fifer Cove into Bloomfield Lake. Unfortunately, however, the creek is too shallow to get to the lake by boat.

An eagle was hoping to catch a salmon that might be trying to swim up the creek.


Since I couldn’t get up the creek, I decided to check out the shoreline. I found lots of little waterfalls because of all the rain we’ve been having.
