July 15, 2017 The Flower Pot Anchorage, Henvey Inlet

Headed out Byng Inlet, going by Clark Island.

 

Cool rock formations.

 

Going into Cunningham Channel.

The Guidebook forewarned us of “Lola.”  Love the cottager’s sense of humor.

Camping on a rock?  No thank you….

But going off a main channel into semi uncharted seas with unnamed islands, no problem!

 

Entering Roger’s Gut Channel, no room for error.

Looking behind you can see how narrow the passage is, with underwater rock ledges.

A vein of quartz in the granite.

Rock walls for potential tie ups.

Cool rock face docking!

The folks on this boat (we met them in Wright’s Marina) told us about several off the chart anchorages, including this one.

Anchored in “The Flower Pot” cove in Henvey Inlet Indian Reservation.

I found some flowers in the flower pot cove via paddle board.

A rainless rainbow later in the evening.

 

Where we are in the world.

So two weeks ago a mourning cloak caterpillar stowed away on our boat (via the docking lines I suppose) and promptly formed a chrysalis.  It emerged late at night on the 15th.  I tried to get it to drink some sugar water before letting it go.  Silly me, you can lead a horse to water…. Anyway, happy ending, it flew to the nearby island.
