Wall-2-wall blue skies greet us this morning, with a 12-knot wind blowing out of the north. I set out for Emily Carr Inlet, about a mile and a half south of here. There wasn’t much current, and the wind was behind me strong enough that I didn’t even have to paddle. It took me about 45 minutes to float to Emily Carr. The trip back to the boat, however, will be another story, because I’ll have to paddle into the wind. With this in mind, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to explore.

Just inside Emily Carr, I came across this family of Mergansers, a very pretty female Kingfisher, and Fireweed.
