Pruth Bay

July 11
Headed out into Fitzhugh Sound wondering where all the humpbacks were that we saw in herds last trip. We put out the fishing lines near a rock wall and Karolina reeled in a Lingcod.  Went N. to Calvert Island and into Kwakshua Channel. The wind picked up so we put up the sails and tacked in the narrow channel. Lotsa fun to actively sail with short tacks. Dave got out in the skiff to video the action and was taking risks at the bow of the boat. Dropped the sails in Pruth Bay, a pristine bay with that houses the Hakai Conservation area, BC’s largest marine park.  Dave took us into the dock and we walked across the peninsula to West Beach a stunning, white sandy bay.

From there we hiked up to a lookout in a rock and muskeg meadow. After a fabulous dinner of fresh lingcod, Anne and I set the prawn pot outside of Keith Bay using the fish head for bait. There was a gorgeous sunset while out on prawn duty.
