Tuesday August 20: Indian Harbour

Up and out early on Tuesday - a long travel day of about an hour! We went a very short 8 miles or so to Indian Harbour.

The route there is again very typical of the small craft channel through very rocky but well marked areas.

It was interesting watching Deja Vu make it through some of the very narrow passageways. It seemed there would hardly be room for them to make it!

By now our coming up alongside and tying up to Deja Vu was down pat. The lack of wind made it even easier as this was a very protected anchorage from the winds and rolling waves (broadside of course) coming across the bay from the west.

Another perfect day!






It was nice to be in early as the direction of the winds made it perfect for kayaking around this area. Cheryl and I headed out first.

Then Steve and Jim headed out for parts unknown. They were gone a LONG time - I was beginning to wonder if they got lost (it really could happen with the way the water winds around the rocks through here!).

Eventually they made their way back to the boats. Guess they should have taken food and water with them :-)

Along the shorelines, it's common to spot an Inuksuk made of rocks but this one that Cheryl and I spotted seemed to be particularly well made.

Historically, the Inuksuk may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds or places of veneration by various native peoples of the Arctic region.

A gorgeous sunset and a wonderful moon rise. What more could we want??






Tomorrow: off to McCrea Lake - where Jim and Linda and  Peter and Cheryl first met just about 3 years ago!
