Not much choice of lunch meat,
a throwback lunch to the 70's |

Probably about 6 or 7 years ago, we came to Cornwall Inlet by dinghy (gunk holed) and toured this inlet. It's approximately 7 or 8 miles long and then about another 7 or 8 mile arm coming off it. You have to go through a set of rapids (Tidal Bore) to get in and there are rocks and massive kelp beds at the start of these rapids. Needless to say, we anchored on the outside of these rapids and dinghied in through the rapids.

| The longhouse at the head of Cornwall Inlet |
A stiff breeze made for a lumpy gunkhole. Pretty inlet, but not a lot of wildlife to see. At the very head of the long arm is (I believe) and old longhouse (probably belonging to Hartley Bay) or perhaps this was this summer home.
It was a relaxing stay, Mike did some fishing, but not a lot of luck, he believes he is cursed this trip on the fishing end.
