July 15 – crossing back to Port McNeil side.


We leave early in the morning and wind out way through the Spider group of islands and start our journey south.  We will miss being on the central coast but know that we will be back soon! We see our first pod of Killer whales this morning and report back to Rick and Faye who joined us yesterday but are on a different return schedule to us. 
We make it to the Hidey Hole leaving at 7:00 am from the McNaughton Group and arrive @ 5:00 pm in the Hidey Hole.  A bit of a swell at the bottom of Rivers and after Cape Caution, we rec'd the swell on our stern, making for a comfortable ride down!  By the time we arrive in the island north of Port Hardy, it is windy and there is about a 2' chop.  We arrive to Tony and Gayle anchored with a nice secure sternline to shore!

What a great time we have had, both with old and new friends!  My personal highlight has been the Sow and Triplet cubs in Khutze Inlet, followed closely by the howling wolves in Parsons anchorage.

First Killer Whale sighting in a month

Calm out - gotta go!

Bye Bye Spider Group
