To our surprise, it isn’t foggy this morning, which is good, because we’re heading for Kisameet Bay, just 17 miles north of Kwakume Inlet.  Unfortunately, the current is against us, but the wind is blowing in the same direction as the current, so the seas aren’t bad.  

Once we got out into Fitz Hugh Sound, we could see the fog rolling out of Hakai Pass, but by the time we got to Hakai Pass, the fog had lifted high enough that it wasn’t a problem, and we made Kisameet in about 2 hours.  There aren’t any boats in the anchorage, but I notice a skiff of some sort on the beach.  I’ll have to investigate.

Right after breakfast, I put my kayak in the water and went for a paddle.  I checked out the dingly tied to a buoy near shore.  I think it must belong to the people who have the clay mine.  The “mining operation”, such as it was, looks like it’s been abandoned.  

I headed for the rocks that dry at low tide.  This is where I found harlequin ducks and black oystercatchers last year.  Well, apparently it’s still one of their favorite hangouts.  The wind had come up, so I was having to paddle upwind, drift down to where I could get a shot as the wind carried me by, and then paddle back upwind to try for another shot.  

On my way back to the boat I heard the chattering of a kingfisher.  I finally spotted him way up near the top of a tree.  He was really carrying on.
