Tuesday, July 10 Kynoch Inlet to Khutze Inlet 4 ½ hours 50 miles


As we were heading north on Mathieson Channel, just before Sheep Passage Fred saw a large whale.  It was a single humpback which gradually made a arch dive and showed us his beautiful tail.  He/she was about 30 feet in front of the boat.  We watched in wonder and forgot to take photos.  We passed through Hiekish Narrows at one hour before slack and had a 1 knot push and no turbulence.  We traveled 5 miles into our favorite anchorage in BC.  Khutze Inlet is so hard to describe.  On either side are 3000-4000 foot high cliffs with more waterfalls than we can count.  At the head is a drying mud flat and on the right is a spectacular waterfall that meanders down the 4000 foot mountain.  We are surrounded by snow-capped mountains.  All you can here is the sound of the waterfalls.  We have usually found this place to be wonderful for crabbing.  Fred put out two pots that we will check in the morning.
