Lots of dolphins this morning, a few fish boats out and two whale sightings. Its actually quite hot today, we are cruising with all of our doors and windows open. Destination is a bit sketchy – the travelling is good and Peril Straits are fairly calm. Our two day destination is Sitka. We pulled into Appleton Cove for the evening and spent an uneventful night rafted to the Big Red Boat (“Ladner Lass”) -- Its quite windy in the bay and the whole bay is only about 25’ deep. We hold very well for night. We went gunkholing through the end of the bay and up into the small river at the head, could only get about a mile up the river. There are more iris’ growing up here, did some green thumb gardener come up here and plant them randomly or are they indigenous to the area? Lots of deer in the bay, but no bear sightings. Mike and Bob go out fishing before dinner but forget to take the cannonballs for the down rigger…..we laugh when someone cuts in on the radio and tells Bob he should never leave home without his balls!
We heard from Tony and Gayle yesterday and it appears they are already down on Grenville channel with a hold full of nice salmon!!!! They should be lapping up the sun in Desolation Sound in about a week!
