August 25, 2015, Tuesday – Clarke Cove, Princess Royal Island

It didn’t take long to paddle around Clarke Cove this morning. I checked out the current in the entrance channel to make sure I could handle it.  The current was only rynning about a knot, so  I had no problem paddling on out.

I don’t know what kind of berry this is. I’ll have to Google it.

There are three creeks here, but none of them had much water in them.

And, there are a couple of picturesque islets.

I watched a very small fishing boat leave this morning. He’d apparently arrived late last night.

A very adventurous fellow in an inflatable sea kayak arrived this morning.

Unfortunately, we were pulling our anchor when this fellow arrived. It would have been very interesting to hear about his trip.

We decided to take advantage of the good sea conditions and head for Chapple Inlet this morning, just another 9 miles down the coast.

There weren’t any boats when we arrived at Chettleburg Cove, but we watched a large yacht go by, probably headed for Kiln Anchorage, just a couple of miles further into the inlet.
