Greetings from Refuge Cove, BC.
Made it here yesterday after spending a HOT day and night on the hook in Von Donop Inlet. It is a very different experience here in the Desolation Sound area from where I was a little over a week ago.
Exchanged much of the wildlife for amazing views and tons of boats. Desolation Sound is very reachable with a hard days push from Vancouver or the US border so this is about as far as dreamers can can make with a long vacation and still be able to make it home for WORK.
Though it isn't Mexico hot spending the day on the hook with NO wind sure heats up fast. One can only swim around the boat a couple of times with the brush cleaning the month of shmoo off the side before the dingy motor has to come out and be used.
So making wind in the dingy was the rule of the afternoon, swim here and there and run to another place. One part of Von Donop Inlet has one of those tidal over flows where water flows in on a high tide and out on a low. When I pulled up and saw the 10 foot drop or so to where I was I knew what my next hour or so would be used up. Out of the dingy and pulled it up and walked through the most sea animis [no idea how to spell those] and star fish, jelly fish if only there were peanut butter fish a meal could be had.
Ran around the lagoon at the top and then shot the rapids class 1.4 down with the oars of the boat. Yeee Haaa
Got up yesterday morning and pulled 4 prawn pots only to find DINNER inside. 67 to be exact, ummmmm I love prawns.
Motored over to refuge cove and relaxed most of the day in the blazzing heat. Again no wind it had to be about 90ish or so. So again off in the dingy to explore only to find some oysters for dinner. Got to love living of the land Oysters on the half shell for apps and dirty rice and shrimp for dinner. Gott run...... http://picasaweb.google.com/snowandriver/VondonopInletToRefugeCove?authkey=Gv1sRgCL7V_-3P0aqcVQ#
