July 12 - July 14 Crossing Cape Caution, Sullivan Bay, Turnbull Cove, Echo Bay

We left Fish Egg Inlet to cross Cape Caution to the Broughton's. Steve would tell you that the crossing was good - no wind just wave and current action. It started out good but then I say it was lumpy and not very much fun Between the current and waves our Naiad Roll control system got a good workout! I was glad we were going to the dock at Sullivan Bay!

Sullivan Bay

From Sullivan Bay we went to an anchorage called Turnbull Cove - from there we took a hike to Huaskin Lake and then we were able to take the Dinghy and explore a large area around Turnbull Cove. We spent the night in Turnbull cove and today July 14th is our 29th Anniversary. We will leave Turnbull cove later but are not sure where we will end up for the night yet.

The Nelsea Anchored in Turnbull Cove

Roaringhole rapids into Nepal Lagoon - not enough water for us to go into the Lagoon.

We left Turnbull Cove and cruised around the area into Greenway Sound, Laura's Cove, Simoom Sound just looking at the different areas. We thought about anchoring out one more night but we are finally running into quite a few boats - In Laura's Cove there were 9 boats, in Simoom Sound where we wanted to go three boats were already anchored. It was quite windy in Simoom so we decided to head into Pierre's at Echo Bay for a couple nights - our plan is to explore the area around Echo bay by Dinghy and Pierre's is having a Texas BBQ dinner on Monday night so we will have a dinner out! Yeah! We will also get caught up on the internet and work.

July 9-July 12 Rescue Bay, Shearwater, Narrows Bay in Fish Egg Inlet

We have had another busy week of cruising. We had a great anchorage in Rescue Bay and as you can see from the pictures it was a great place to crab!

From Rescue Bay we went on to Shearwater and then on to an area that we wanted to explore a bit - Fish Egg Inlet. It rained hard while we were on our way to Fish Egg Inlet. We decided to stay two nights as the winds for crossing Cape Caution are not supposed to be ok for a few days. When we arrived we wanted to stay at Joes Bay but there were two boats there already so we went to another place called Narrows Cove. It rained on and off the whole time we were there but we were able to take the dinghy out to look around. What a great area. When we went cruising we were the only boat anchored anywhere in Fish Egg Inlet and we would definitely like to spend more time in this area in the future. It is a beautiful spot as the pictures will show.
