Trotter Bay

We were hoping to go into Skedans today ( June 19th ) - a Haida Village Watchman site that is not in the Gwaii Haanas Park Reserve. . But with the wind and wave action coming up the east side of Louise Island back into Hecate Strait we decided it wasn't a good plan.

We went back west up Selwyn Inlet and just went for a little motor. We decided we look into a few spots we'd seen on the way down Selwyn and decide what looked good.

There was a lodge at the top of Pacofi Bay. We think it belongs to the Morseby Adventure group. There was no people or boats about the lodge. It looked a little run down but there were tables and chairs in the main area and everything was intact. We are not sure it it is still in use.




















We went into Cecil Cove at there were 3 black bears grazing on the grass at the head of the Cove. They looked very large. We were not able to get very close due to a large mud flat at the top of the Cove









One of the bears. Not a great photo!


















The bear on shore and the eagle flying along the water.

We heard the S/V Yonder call out a security on channel 16 for Louise Narrows. And we saw the vessel on AIS. But we never saw the actual boat.

We have yet to see another boat since we saw S/V Maple Leaf in Morseby Camp.

We motored up to Trotter Bay and dropped the anchor. Open to Selwyn Inlet but and it was calm and good holding. Started to rain in the afternoon.











Here is a map of the area we are in and I put little orange dots where we have anchored. At the north side of Louise Island is Cumshewa Inlet and then Gillant Arm - there is our first stop - Gordon Cove. Skedans is on the west side of Louise Island in Skedans Bay. Pacofi Bay and Cecil Cove and Trotter Bay are all just east of Talunkwan Island. Thurston Harbour is on the west side of Talunkwan Island. The weather has been a bit wet and windy so far. Well -- a LOT wet! But we are inside a nice warm - and dry boat.
