Before departing Miles Inlet in a light fog and calm, we picked up the crab trap and three Dungeness crabs, returned one undersized and kept two good sized ones. We left Miles in time to arrive at Cape Caution at slack tide. It was another exceptionally smooth rounding of a potentially nasty headland.
We saw several Gray Whales on our way to Fury Cove at Rivers Inlet.
This calm cove is rimmed by a white shell beach, which shown bright even through the dreariness of fog and rain. When we went into Fury Cove (51° 29.196’ N / 127° 45.549’ W) there were only three boats at anchor, but during the three days we spent there waiting for yet another Southeaster to calm down, we had up to 10 or more boats at anchor, most heading south.
Don and Reanne Douglas of Baiarka arrived Sunday the 22nd. They are the folks who write one of the cruising guides we use.
More to Come
