August 24, 2017, Thursday — Quigley Creek Cove to Wallace Bight Lagoon, Roderick Island, —

This morning, we were headed down Thistle Passage on our way to Wallace Bight Lagoon when Al shouted, “Wolf on the beach!”  I grabbed my camera and frantically searched the shore.  I knew he wouldn’t be hanging around long.  Finally I spotted him.  He wasn’t black like the wolf in Quigley, and he looked really undernourished, poor guy.

In Meyers Passage, we encountered an Indian canoe.  I noticed they had a cedar wreath draped on the bow.

They gave us an oar salute as they passed.

This Kingfisher was kind enough to sit still long enough for me to get this shot while passing through Meyers.

We anchored in the north end of the lagoon near what looked like a seagull convention.  I spotted a couple of Red-necked Grebes cruising the area.
