Day 5: Fitz Hugh Sound and a bit of a kayak

​Through the night there was some pretty heavy rain and it didn't let up the next day. The radar was getting a bit grumpy with all the moisture!

We hauled anchor at about 8 and set off from our lagoon. We motored down Fitz Hugh Sound. We pulled in to Koeye Bay for lunch. After some delicious curry and wrap things we hopped on the zodiac for an exploration mission up Koeye River. Unfortunately when we got there found that there was some fish thing going on between August 15 and September which meant we weren't allowed to motor up the river. Margot and Eric made a valiant effort at paddling us up but to no avail so we went ashore at a beach nearby. The water was pretty red which was allegedly due to tannins being washed down the streams. On the beach we found some pretty big paw prin​​ts that indicates that bears do exist but then again it could have just been a person walking with special boots on that make bear paw prints in the sand.

In the afternoon we weaved our way through some heavy weather and fishing boats. We managed to find a hump back whale too which was good.

We ended up anchoring in a place that I can't remember the name of about 6pm and Sohrabh and I went for a bit of a Kayak around the shore. I took about a billion photos but I will try and limit it to just a few here:

Back on the yacht we had a couple of beers with corn fritters (with secret sauce) followed by chicken, yam, some sort of delicious salad and beetroot. After dinner we had a bit of chart chat where we recounted the last few days together followed closely carrot cake for desert. 5 days on this yacht have gone by far too quickly. Sleepytime after writing this up at 11pm.
