Lagoon Cove to Glendale Cove - 4 hours, 27 miles
We all discussed our next destination. One option was to go up Knight Inlet to Glendale Cove to see brown bears (grizzly bears). It is a long haul. 27 miles straight up Knight Inlet. However, we were traveling on a flood tide with the wind at our back. This added 2 knots speed. We arrived at the cove at 3:30 PM. It was near high tide and the bears come out at low tide. We had a heck of a time anchoring. There were numerous crab pots located in the best anchoring spots. Also, the cove has a large mud flat at the head. I think we tried 3 times until we felt comfortable. Comfortable is a relative term. We were well anchored but we were in about 90 feet of water and there is a huge amount of rocking and rolling because this cove is open to Knight Inlet.
