Muirhead Islands
Well, no crab again in the crab pot. Fred moved it hoping for better luck. It is a spectacularly clear day. We took a ride in the dinghy to explore. We are close to another inlet that we have never explored. It is near high tide so we have plenty of water under us. We passed through Actress Passage and into Actaeon Sound. There are so many islets that I was turned around completely. Thank goodness that Fred has an excellent sense of direction. It is quite beautiful but not much different from where we are anchored now. On our way back to the boat we passed a rock that had about ten seals on it. I think they are harbour seals. It was interesting that they were several different colors. Some were dark and spotted and several others were a pretty brown. Maybe different ages? I will have to look them up. As soon as it was dark (about 9 PM) the moon came out. It is about half full and so bright it lit up the entire bay. The water was like glass and the mirror image of the hills and trees was lovely.
