Covered Portage Cove – July 17, 18 – 2010

We traveled back through Collins Inlet, through the Killarney channel, and ended up back at Covered Portage Cove. We really enjoyed this anchorage with Merrill, and so it was not a hard decision to go back with the new group. Plus, we really wanted to hike up the bluff for some more blueberries! Anchoring out proved to be a bit challenging with the winds gusting over 25, but we all managed to get secure and enjoy the day. We hosted cocktails on our boat and had a great time. Wind died down before going to bed and we had a very peaceful rest – even the temps cooled down a bit which made having hot coffee in the morning that much more enjoyable!

We went hiking the next morning with the group and below are some pictures of us way up high on the bluff. We weren’t able to get any pictures of the Ruff Life or O B Quiet because we just couldn’t get to the right bluff – but we tried! We did come across a lot of blueberries and bear scat! We safely navigated our way around, and eventually back down the bluff to the dinghys. It was a beautiful day – but, weather radar shows some rain coming.

Scot caught his first fish! It is a northern pike. We did a catch and release. Rain started shortly after that, and we decided to make martinis and nachos! It was a splendid way to spend the time in the rain!
