Horse head Cove

We were a bit more ambitious with this trip, it was only forecast 50% fog today. So we went through a few narrow channels although when the fog came and you were in them it, was intimidating. This harbour is naturally formed and the entrance is only 2.5M deep. The guide book describes it as somewhere you could ride out any storm. After a slow a deliberate feel of our way in, edging left and right to find the deep water. The truth is it is like anchoring in a pond. Perfect for a good nights sleep. As always it’s time for a walk and as we are leaving the cabin we spot an osprey entering his/Her next right above us. We went ashore and walked down the highway (not so Wilderness) and then followed a dirt track for a mile or so. As always the locals were chatty and keen to be helpful.
When we returned we followed an American black duck and 4 chicks settle down for the night hopefully out of sight of the Black backs (they weren’t) 2 otters were also chased off by the Black backs)Läs mer
