Once again, we didn’t know where we were heading today, but it was time to leave. They are predicting gale force winds for the next two days so we need to find a cove to hide out in for a couple days until the storm passes. After taking on some fuel for both vessels, we set off to find ourselves a place to hide and ended up in Fougner Bay, a place neither of us has ever been. It’s just south of Codville Lagoon on the Burke Channel that goes up to Bella Coola. We hope it turns out to be a good place, and if not we can relocate down to Pruth tomorrow, which will be rather unpleasant with gale winds, so I hope this works out. John went fishing almost immediately, and I am warming up from my sweep of the bay (in the pouring rain), which is becoming our practice when we are in an unfamiliar tight bay, given all the unreliable charting. The rain continued off and on throughout the day, and John caught a fish! We also were visited by two humpback whales that cruised by the entrance to the bay, along with some orcas that cruised by later in the evening. All is well when we get to see whales.
No Pictures today!
