I was up at 0500 hrs to check for fog. There were wisps of low lying fog here and there, but no wind. We decided the fog might just be a local condition. So, we fired up the engine and headed out for Verney Falls, in Lowe Inlet.

Within 15 minutes the fog was completely gone, and we had the current going with us — Yay!

“Whales!”, Al yelled. I grabbed my camera and started searching the horizon. I spotted two humpbacks feeding right against the shore. I took video, since trying to get still shots is almost impossible underway. I’ll have to post the video on YouTube when I get home.

By 1230 hrs, we had our anchor down right in front of Verney Falls. Well, not right in front. The only other boat in the entire anchorage had the prime spot, naturally. Within a few hours, four other boats had arrived. This is always a popular place.

The heavy rains have finally arrived. Can the salmon be far behind?
