Family of Bald Eagles. I saw at least four. The spotted one on the rock is a young Eagle.

Our route today as captured by my Inreach.

That pile of wood must have been cleaned out from inside the shed as it is more art.

Anchored in Octopus Islands. C-Traveler can be seen on the other side of the cut.

Woke up this morning to rain, and then it rained most the day, with just a couple peaks of sunshine. No hiking for Bill or Mike today, so we all departed the anchorage just a bit before 7am. We wanted to get to Hole in the Wall rapids around 9:45a to go through at slack. Before the rapids, I saw a family of Bald Eagles on the shore. Photo didn’t turn out to good, but I’ll upload it anyway. Not far beyond the rapids was our anchorage for today, at the Octopus Islands. Nice anchorage with a lot of little islands and shoals. Our route brought us out of Von Donot Inlet into Drew Passage, Calm Channel, Hole in the Wall, the Okisollo Channel, and then into the Octopus Islands. It continued to mostly rain, but we still took our Kaboats and kayak over to the south end of Octopus Island to visit an art shed. Ended up being a shed full of drift wood and other items that boaters have left with their boat and personal names on. I’ve seen one like this before in the Gulf Islands at Conover Cove.Read more
