July 14
Spent the morning on a skiff excursion exploring outer beaches. Saw lots of fresh wolf tracks but no recent bear signs. Watched sea lions splashing and doing some sort of mating ritual. I noticed blood on the neck of one of them. They were so entwined they didn’t move till we got up close and personal. We got some eagle photos and admired the interesting rock formations along the shorelines. Upon return to the boat, Dave cooked us brunch of fresh salmon and eggs. Superb!
The weather remained less than desired so decided to leave the beautiful wilds of Hakai and head to Hunter Island. Anchored in Goodlad Bay just as the rain started again. D&K set out to ‘look around the bend’ and Dave found an ancient fish stone fish trap made out of stacks of round rocks about a meter high with an opening a canoe width at the mouth of a creek. Once again we saw no other boats in the area. Another remarkable day on the rugged coast. The only issue is sunshine deprivation at the height of summer.
