We left Pruth Bay around 9 AM with the Kk42 Free Spirit V following behind. Jim had lent them his iPad with the Navionics App all set up for them to use as their Chart plotter. They followed us for a short distance and then went to meet up with Ceilidh to help move the chart plotter from their skiff to the boat. Once that was done they came to Fury and returned Jim's iPad.
Fury Cove is a very pretty spot. Midden beaches with easy access to get Jenny to shore. A beautiful view that includes a peek through the islets out to Fitz Hugh Sound.
A little cabin tucked away in the woods.
When we arrived there was one other boat anchored up. But it didn't stay like for long. It is a main stopping point for boats to wait for the right conditions to travel south around Cape Caution - therefore it is also a busy anchorage. We really like the anchorage but at one point there was a flotilla of boats in there. Too many for us!
When Rob from Free Spirit V returned Jim's iPad he offered to take Jim out fishing after lunch. They went off in Rob's skiff about 3 PM - in the rain and fished for about 4 hours. Jim caught a very nice Coho!! It rained hard most of the day.
The next day - Friday - there was supposed to be a strong wind warning and the weather was supposed to be better Saturday. Then the weather forecast was changed to include strong winds Saturday and Sunday as well. Free Spirit V left Friday morning to go to Dawson's Landing because the weather was "supposed" to be windy until Monday or Tuesday.
In the end the wind never materialized on any of the days predicted.
We were going to leave Saturday morning but it was raining so hard and we were both still feeling the effects of our colds we just couldn't bring ourselves to going out in the rain and putting up the skiff,putting out the poles and pulling the anchor. So we stayed another day. We chatted a bit with a couple from Sechelt. But our colds kept us from enjoying a Happy Hour on their boat.
A group of Grand Banks travelling together from Alaska to Bellingham arrived on Saturday.
The weather was rain - heavy at times - off and on all for the three days we were there.
We left early Sunday morning. Just after all the Grand Banks.
