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.
