Getting Ready to make the "Purse"
After our two day stay in Khutze, we departed for post north and west. Enroute, we stopped in Butedale to show Faye and Rick what was left of one of the busiest canneries on the coast (in its day of course). We filled up with water and had a nice visit with Lou. We meet three of his guests that stayed in his cabins last night, and what a story they have to tell. These three gentlement met from all over via the Internet. One is from Ottawa, another from South Carolina and the third one is from Idaho (I think!) They had finished walking the ridge of Princess Royal Island and then paddled their way through the 13 mile lake up above on the Ridge with these inflatable boats they have strapped to their pack sacks. Their packs sacks I might add, weigh approximately 75 lbs, not an easy feat while travelling up some of the mountain sides! I have added their links below. These young fellows have traipsed through game trails, paddled through what looks to be millions of bug nests and are now preparing to paddle their way from Butedale to Klemtu. we thought the folks we met in Duncanby were nuts going to Alaska in 23' boats, this is crazier!
We have a nice afternoon visit, fill up our water tanks and head up through Wright sound and find an anchorage in a small bay on Hawk Island called Fin Bay.
