3 - 5 August 2010
We spent the month of August exploring the Barkley Sound. Unfortunately, wifi was not available (or was terribly expensive) 
at most of the locations that we visited, so I am finally playing "catch up".
at most of the locations that we visited, so I am finally playing "catch up".After our time at Effingham Bay we trekked back to the Pipestem in a light fog. Regardless of the fog, we were able to spot whales as 
we left Effingham Bay. Our hope was to find sunshine the further inland that we traveled...and we did! We also found that our delightful anchorage that we had on our last visit was awating our return. We quickly set anchor and stern tied to shore to relax in the sunshine for the remainder of the day. The following morning, at low tide, I rowed the tender to the point at the head of our anchorage and collected oysters and pickleweed (my new favorite wild veggie). I felt like I was being watched as I worked, and I was...a bald eagle, perched on a limb above me - scrutinized my every move. In the afternoon, at high tide, Dave and I took the 
AquaSport up to Lucky Creek to view the waterfalls. This time I had my camera with me so was able to take photos. The next day, Dave made a scuba dive - for fun. He was hoping to find sea cucumbers and urchins, but alas, there wer none to be found in our little cove.
