Echo Harbor

N 52 41.615, W 131 45.936
Echo Harbor, Darwin Sound, Moresby Island

This morning we raised anchor at Thurston Harbor without any problems. We went around Hemming Head and Porter Head to enter Gwaii Haanas. Going up Logan Inlet and around to Darwin Sound the winds were coming over the San Charistoval Range and through the inlets and out to Hecate Straits being funnelled by the tall sides of the inlets. Some of the trees we see are reddish. At first we thought they were diseased but now we think it is just the variety.

Echo Harbor is a small bay tucked in between two hillsides. At the end is a small creek. When we first entered there was a Westsail 32, named Alaster, anchored at the end. We chatted briefly on the radio and then they left. Now we are all alone in the harbor.

Rich and I re-inflated our dingy, Boomerang, and put it back in the water. This will let us explore on land.

Tomorrow we plan to continue down Darwin Sound, possibly to De la Beche Inlet.

No worries,
SV Windarra
