Paradise VS Purgatory
We had plan on staying at Greenway Sound Marina until mid September . The idea being we would help the owners in Paradise. Ken Happily went to work down the dock every morning. It was varied but nothing he couldn’t handle or hadn’t done throughout his life. I helped out by power washing the docks. It seem apparent that they hyhad everything under control with the restaurant having a 3 yr vetran returning who knew the ropes and rules of the house. Once the docks were done I found myself on the boat trying yto occupy my time. Well friends I flunked Home Economics 101. I couldn’t peel carrots or tear lettuce properly. I personally didn’t feel things would change so a decision had to be made. Ken went in to wash dishes and apparently also flunked Home Ec 101. He couldn’t make coffee properly. I’m not sure how we had a successful catering business all those years! We decided to spend the time until Sept. in Paradise not Purgatory and will explore anchorages in the Broughton’s.
So …….. the adventure begins
July 07 – 08 stayed at Claydon Bay and caught 17 crabs. We had to eat some because we were now over our limit. Some sacrifices one has to make.
July 09 – 10 headed to Turnbull Cove . We ventured out by dingy to visit “Roaringhole Rapids” During a ebb tide it produces a 3 foot waterfall. Yes students we did it at slack!
We hiked a trail taking out bear spray to a lake . The trail was straight up and down to the lake but it was well worth it. Saw no bears! Dingy to Embley Lagoon and saw very little wildlife.
July 11 -13 headed to Mackenzie Sound and to anchor at Burley Bay. It was reported that a family of Grizzly’s were active here. We ventured by dinghy to Nimmo Bay and Little Nimmo Bay. We stopped at a resort that had been featured on Boston Legal. This area is absolutely breathtaking! The temperatures have been 36 degrees without a breeze. We returned to the boat and for 20 mins. Watched a full grown black bear on the shore foraging for food.
“If you’re looking for heaven on earth , this is definitely the place!” So far. We will be out in the wilderness and will try to update the blog whenever we are in wifi areas.
Until the next anchorage …….
