Warned by passersby at Dolomite Narrows about the heavy seas ahead, we paddled quickly to our next campsite, spending as little time as possible exposed to the often dangerous waters of Hecate Strait. The beautiful sunshine which had followed us up to this point gave way to flat, grey skies, but no rain.
Our campsite here was quite breezy, so we set up a makeshift windbreak out of the plentiful debris that had drifted in from logging operations further north. This, perhaps, is the one benefit of logging to campers - while driftwood would normally be quite scarce, logging waste provides an abundance of logs, branches and 2x12 boards with which to build aesthetically pleasing and very functional beach kitchens.
As we mentioned before, proper nutrition is very important when camping! Here is Anthony making donuts and tea.
And of course, everyone needs to bathe, no matter how cold it is.
From here, we were in distance mode; over the next two days, we mostly did a lot of paddling. Our one night at Carpenter Bay was uneventful, and was followed by a 13 NM race around the southern end of Moresby Island into Houston Stewart Channel. We eventually landed at the end of Rose Inlet.
