July 10 - Smith Inlet


We wake up to rain and low cloud. We have spent one other night in Fly Basin, way back when we had the 34’ tollycraft “Big Easy”, at that time, when we got up in the morning, the whole front deck of our boat was covered in flies.  This place lived up to it’s name, or perhaps it was aptly named for the flies that are attracted to the white boats.

There is one other small 32’ sailboat in the bay but we don’t see or hear anyone. The rain is starting again and there is a fresh breeze in the bay.  Uneventful night in Fly Basin.

Anchors up, and off to another bay in Smith Inlet.  This time to Finis Nook.  There is a sunken boat in one corner of the bay and at the back of the bay there is a fisherman’s float, piled high with prawn traps and other assorted paraphernalia.   Lots of herring in the bay and three seals.  A wet day and night, but no wind.  Certainly is a good hurricane hole for any winds that might howl up.  Can it rain any harder?
