Back in familiar territory

We landed in Shusharti Bay and watched the sun burn up the fog and turn the skies a brilliant shade of blue. Everyone is always a bit tired after an overnight so the day was pretty relaxed. We toured around the islets in Otto and ventured up the creek a short ways at high tide.

For the first time in a while we watched cruising boats motor by the anchorage. The next morning Kolby headed to Dylan rock for an epic dive – octopi, wolf eels, ratfish and huge schools of fish while Fynn and I walked a bleach bear amble along the shore, turning over rocks and gobbling whatever he was finding beneath.  Midday we made a pit stop at Hussar Point to soak up some sun on the beach and look for a cave that is somewhere in the vicinity. No lock on the cave, but we found few good pieces of beach glass. We anchored just outside of Port Hardy and discussed our plans.  We just aren’t sure if we want to race through this part of Vancouver Island or explore it a little more. Either way we were headed to Port McNeil to stock up on food  (the fridge was empty) and go from there.
