We spent much of the day close to shore, slowing down every time we passed a stream (and there were lots of them) looking for bears. While this is supposed to be bear country we haven’t spotted any yet. Along the way we stopped at Bishop Bay where there is a hot spring with a small building enclosing a natural rock hot tub with a view of the bay. We spent about 40 minutes soaking, a wonderful, relaxing respite.
We ended today’s cruising about 6:30pm in a cove on the western shore of Promise Island, about 15 miles short of our hoped for destination. It was raining hard, but with very little wind, and Greg anchored close to shore in 40 feet of water. We’ve been in very remote territory all day. We’ve seen no houses, few boats, and mostly wilderness with staggeringly tall, rocky mountains climbing straight out of the water. We saw one lone humpback whale briefly. The scenery is awe-inspiring. There are 3 other boats anchored in this same harbor.
