Haida Gwaii

“ Boating has a lot in common with being in jail, actually, with the added risk being that you can drown”  Susan Musgrave

Susan Musgrave’s book, A taste of Haida Gwaii is a welcome addition to the boat library. It is a cookbook unlike any other.

Our trip into the park seemed pretty uneventful. It rained almost every day. We did go into a couple of different anchorages, Kostan Inlet and Section Cove. For the rest it was revisiting anchorages that we have been in before.

As you may know an earthquake caused the Hotsprings Island , springs to dry up. A pleasant surprise was finding that some of the springs have started to reemerge.  We spent a very pleasant morning soaking in the spring and surveying the beauty of Juan Perez Sound.

Once again we visited Burnaby Narrows.  It is an incredible site for snorkeling .

So here we are back in Skidegate Inlet waiting for a weather window to cross Hecate Strait. As of now Friday seems to be a good departure date. We want to hang out at the Sandspit Marina until 1100 when a  160 foot Yacht is supposed to arrive.

The original plan was to head down to Moresby Island then shoot across to the mainland. It is a lot further across but anyways none of that matters and God Willing we will shoot across on Friday.
