Heading South - In Canada now

We left Ketchikan August 2 under a blue, white fluffy white cloud-filled sky.





Red tide. Organisms dying off. The color was a beautiful persimmon but the smell was really bad. This was with us all day until we got to Foggy Bay.






Aug 2 - anchored in Foggy Bay





















George was able to land these two beautiful Coho. August 3 on the way to Lincoln Channel.


Aug 3 - anchored in Lincoln Channel - no luck with crabs - only Sea Stars - Large.

Aug 5 - Anchored at East Inlet, off Grenville Channel
Aug 6 - docked at Hartley Bay
Aug 7 - docked at Butedale - visited the old cannery site - now dilapidated
Aug 8 - docked at Klemtu - Indian Village
Aug 9 - docked at Shearwater

(more photos - next stop)

We are heading to Bella Bella this morning for gas and GOOD water (which is scarce in these parts because of the tannin from the cedar logging).

Thanks to all the sunshine we have had until this morning (Aug 10), we have not had to plug in to power since we left the KYC.

We have had sunshine everyday, but not always warm weather.... and then moments ago on this overcast Sunday morning, it started raining.... and it's chilly.

Since we got into Canada, we have no cell service. I considered buying some minutes from Rogers, AT&T counterpart in Canada, while in Prince Rupert, but since it was Civic Day for Canada, Rogers was closed. So I'll try calling from payphones like I did last year. What a pain this high tech-ness can be at times.

Gotta go get my shower and make ready for the days journey.

We'll be in Port McNeill in a few days. More bloggin then.
