I was up until after midnight working on my blog, trying to get it ready for uploading in Prince Rupert, just in case they have good WiFi there.

Consequently, this morning, I slept in until almost 0900 hrs! Too late to go paddling before breakfast, so I waited until after dinner. Of course by then the rain had returned.

While I was paddling, Al moved the boat up to the anchorage at the entrance to the inlet, just get a change of scenery, and, hopefully, wildlife.

All this rain we’ve been getting has really helped the creek.

It was near low tide, exposing lots of mussels on the rocks

A couple of Mew Gulls were taking a fishing break.

When I got to the entrance, I thought I saw some movement on the rocks at the point, but wasn’t sure. I paddled over to investigate and found a couple of Spotted Sandpipers, in constant motion, flitting over the rocks, bobbing as though they had Terret Syndrome — really cute.
