Bottleneck Inlet, Roderick Island
Saturday we took on fuel and got a slip at Shearwater Marina. This gave us a chance to do laundry, provision, stop at the marine store, take on water, check the internet and have lunch at the Fisherman's Bar and Grill. Lunch was great and very sedate. This place does have a reputation for being a bit rowdy on Saturday nights but we were at the farthest slip so we did not hear anything.
This morning we left and continued to work our way north. We are trying to meet up with Chuck and Margie on SV Dreamcatcher on Monday so we put in a long day, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Our route took us through Reid Passage, very scenic, and narrow with low lying islands and also through Oscar Passage. Toward the end of Oscar Passage is a waterfall on the north side. We had been watching blow from a humpback whale near the waterfall. Apparently the whale liked the waterfall as well since we saw him poke his head up below the waterfall and also do a tail slap. I hope that was a sign of approval.
Bottleneck Inlet is a long fjord with a narrow entry. We are sharing it with 3 other boats. It is very calm, quiet and relaxing after motoring all day. It's cocktail hour....
No worries,
SV Windarra
