Low key day today, no
fishing or harvesting. Honestly I can’t tell you where the day went. I went for
a long paddle around the bay late morning and inspected the shoreline, and get close-ups of the landslides. No
starfish here to speak of which again is strange. The only real wildlife we’ve
seen in the harbor is a seal that seems to inhabit the bay, lots of jellyfish,
the occasional eagle and various seabirds. Later in the afternoon at high tide we went on a little expedition Embley Lagoon, a couple coves over. It is very shallow and not suitable for anchoring,
and I also believe there is a lot of debris on the bottom, but we like to motor
through there in the tender and check out the wildlife. The seabirds seem to
love it back there, many seagulls resting in peace (until we arrived). Last time
we came through here there were several eagles but not today. We did see a mother
Merganser and her ducklings – must have been 10 of them – resting on a log. We
were far away but Mom got nervous and instructed everyone to “get in the water,
now!” There was a flurry of frantic
diving and swimming to catch up to Mom. Not much to report, we are still in
Turnbull for one more night.

These old dead trees remind me of a dinosaur skeleton
Thought this was interesting, like a witch's hand reaching for the sky
Another landslide in Embley Lagoon
Bottom of the landslide in Turnbull, looks like a log graveyard
Thought this was a really pretty nurse log
Some very old chain and eye anchored into the rocks in Turnbull, must have been for logging purposes
Looks like this is from a log boom that broke apart, but it's just sitting in the back of Turnbull Cove, lodged on a rock
