Were in Kyuquot. Neat little place. One of the most picturesque places ever. It is a first nations village and fishing community. Tucked way back in behind an island the entry way is narrow and winding but at least 20 feet deep all the way in.
It is raining real hard right now and there is no internet. Jeff made a command decision and were going to sit here for a day and do some exploring. Hope the rain lets up.
The fishing is good here as well, most everyone looked like they were coming in with fish so I will give it another try tomorrow regardless of the rain conditions.
This is a very safe and snug harbor, well protected in all conditions.
We rounded the Brooks peninsula which is the second crux of the cruise. The rollers north of the peninsula were 5 to 6 feet high from the rear quarter making an uncomfortable ride, the wind was dead on our nose once again and so we motored for 8 hours. Once around the peninsula the rollers calmed down then we just had 20 knot wind waves on the nose. Nothing bad, in fact we have had worse conditions in Puget Sound so the run around the island so far has been pretty uneventful. I would love to spend several days exploring the inlets here and those we passed by as they are quite remote and beautiful but I doubt highly if we will take our boat around. Chris would not like the ride and for us the rolling would be substantial. I think you need stabilizers to make it a bit more comfortable but we could certainly do it and with many more stops thrown in and time to explore all of the inlets.
Today I kayaked into McKay cove through dozens of little islands, just amazing and beautiful.
Were sitting in Java the Hut coffee shop waiting for fresh pie and drinking fresh lattes. They have a satalite internet connection here so were updating the blog and reading email. The fresh pie just arrived fresh out of the oven with ice cream. apple, blackberry pie, its great.
Big day in Kyuquot, the supply ship uchuck (upchuck)to the locals is about to arrive so everyone is in town.
