The SeaDrifter Drifts In a Little Late

A misunderstanding about timing...some drama but no trauma.  We were happy to have Beck and Rick with us even if it was a day after they expected to be onboard and two days before we had them calendared.   Thanks to our friends and family for their concern and support.

Rick and Beck extended a couple of days and we had a wonderful time together.  The coho were running and the fog scatted by late morning.  We did some touring and ate some great meals together.


It's time to fish...

Ellerslie Lagoon Entrance

We read and then read again about the entrance to Ellerslie Lagoon.  One book said under no circumstances attempt it.  The next author said, "The greatest anchorage of my life".  So we decided to compromise and left the big boat safely anchored, scouted the rapids at low tide and entered at high slack. We took no pictures of the entrance becuase we were busy not leaving bottom paint on the rocks. Depths of about 3 feet at high slack.  Calm lagoon leading to a  stunning falls fed by a freshwater lake.  Hats off to the group that brought their big boats through even though one limped back with a bent prop.  Not for us.
Take Quick Pictures!  Slack is Less than 30 Minutes!

Spiller Inlet 

 Then we headed up Spiller Inlet to see the rock formation known as the Weeping Lady

Can you see her weeping?
