This is my last paddle in Quigley Creek, as we’re moving on to Alston Cove this morning.  I headed up the creek looking for photo ops, but didn’t get very far. Since it’s only mid-tide, I ran out of water pretty quickly.  So, I turned around and paddled out around all the little islets, waiting for the tide to get higher.  I didn’t find any critters, so I took a couple of photos of the islets and paddled a ways up Laredo Inlet.  

When it got closer to high tide, I headed back up the creek.  I got a little farther up the creek, but not much.  I think it would take a super high spring tide and torrential rains to get passed the rock pile.

As soon as I got back to the boat, we were on our way to Alston.  Al wanted to see if he could catch a salmon.  We’ve seen a few jump here in the anchorage.

Al trolled all the way to Alston and caught some eel grass and, what he claims was a small salmon, but it looked more like a small perch to me….you know how fish stories go.
