Unbelivable

Claires day one of travelling was blessed with blue sky light wind and horizon to horizon visibility. And we motors sailed to Le Moines Bay and had lunch in tranquility of Dublin cove, nothing but the sound apart from singing birds. Are lunch and a snooze later. we headed further into the fyord and anchored at the end. We are beyond the extent of the road system now and everywhere we visit. Has no human traffick. Tea was moose flavoured Shepard’s pie followed by a walk on land along a small stream which was surrounded by moose prints and pooh. No sign of mr moose.
Hardly a breath of wind so a solid nights sleep in isolation was coming our way.

Some mornings you wake up and cant believe your luck, of where you are. And you certainly don’t think it can set any better. We hoisted the main sail and sailed out of the small Fyord heading east, an up wind coarse which we decide we would tack against instead of using the motor. Light 10kt breeze no swell, all easy.

We had spotted a small cove called Cullottes cove on the chart and we were closing in on the very tight rocky entrance, when 2 small milky whales blew not to far inshore of us and after a couple of ups and downs and deep breaths they Fluked there tiles and dived out of site. Wow first whale of the trip fantastic day just got better. Next trick is to slide through a couple of tight channels and into a hole on a pretty cove to anchor. Next box ticked and wow is it pretty. Its normally hard to get ashore and walk any distance in these wild places, as there are no trails and dense forest right down to the sea, luckily for us thisplace had sone rocky outcrops and some moose\elk trails running around which Claire decided she would follow up a hill, with me in tow. Absolutely stunning view of the land the boat and some potential trout streams. Climb back down through the haze of black flies and back to the boat to collect the fly rod. While I’m there we spotted a Moose grazing near the beach close to where we are anchored. Hope he cant smell the moose chilly. I leave the boat to go and find some castable stream runs and some rising trout. And wow do I find some. Pools that have probably never been fished. And stuffed with friendly rising trout all competing to take my fly (sparkle dun)

Absolutely top day at the officeRead more
