We had hoped to leave by 0800 hrs, but the fog that crept in last night hasn’t lifted.  By 1000 hrs, it looked like we might have a mile of visibility out in Mathieson, so we decided to give it a go.

On our way out of Rescue Bay, I spotted this pair of red-throated loons getting ready to dive.

When we got out into Mathieson Channel, we found the visibility was better than we thought.  Pretty soon, we had about 5 miles of visibility, smooth waters and no fog…. life is good.

There was only one small powerboat anchored in Oliver Cove when we arrived, leaving us lots of anchoring choices.  The wind was blowing about 15 knots, so I didn’t go paddling.  Lucky for me, because this immature eagle caught a nice salmon and found a lovely dining spot near the boat.

The sunset tonight was beautiful.
