Farewell Harbour - 5 Days

View from our First Bay in around the
corner from Farewell Harbour
 
Glorious Sunsets/Sunrises in our new anchorage
 With Fishing still on the mind, we stayed a full 5 days in Farewell Harbour in various spots surrounding this exposed bay.  Well, if the truth be known, we couldn't get a good set on our anchor and there were too many large boats in this bay already that had our anchor let go, it would have been 1-800 Carson (we have an insurance claim!)


Note the colour of the Water - this is little bay is just inside
from Blackfish Sound
 
Luckily, we found a great spot around the corner from Farewell which was still close enough for Mike to get out Fishing and afforded us some privacy from the 20+ boats anchored in Farewell.  We spent 2 nights in here and then found a little nook just inside the entrance to Whitepass Passage (I think that's the name :).  We find that when there is kelp, not too many people chance dropping an anchor, but we managed to find a bit of a spot with no kelp (saves on the generator impellers!)


View in the early evening with "Disney Wonder"

We opted to move here after Mike came back to let Betty know that he had seen  a pod of orca, jumping straight out the water all morning....... well that was it, at least in our new spot, I could look out into Blackfish Sound and see any whale activity, that is if the fog wasn't so thick until noon!  It was  a great stop and we would go back to both of these spots again.
