Shearwater, Denny Island
This morning we woke up to sunny skies. The anchorage was still and we saw a whale out in Burke Channel going northeast. We sat in the cockpit, drinking our coffee and enjoying the scenery. Wow!
We motored up Fisher Channel and then Lama Passage. A whale was outbound as we were inbound. I got my camera already for a tail shot but he was gone. Farther up the passage (it is 7 miles long) we passed the small town of New Bella Bella, across from Old Bella Bella and around to Shearwater. Shearwater is home to a fishing resort and a marina. There was no room for us so we anchored out. We will check tomorrow morning to see if a spot opens up. We used the dingy to go in and provision at the small grocery/liquor store. It is a lot larger than the store at Pierre's at Echo Bay. They even have kitty litter!
Tomorrow we will do laundry, get fuel and perhaps some other chores depending on whether we get a slip or not. There is wireless at the dock so I will try and connect. No cell phone yet.
The marine layer has started to roll back in and it is overcast now.
No worries,
SV Windarra
