It was a long but beautiful journey to the Pruth Bay area today. We traveled through Hakai Passage, which opens on the west to Queen Charlotte Sound. We avoided the popular Pruth Bay anchorage and instead anchored nearby in a tiny cove. It was a bit of a nailbiter getting settled in a good spot in this small, shallow cove and wondering whether low tide would leave us beached (it didn’t but we had only about 1.9 meters to spare). After anchoring, we traveled by dinghy to “The Hakai Institute” in Pruth Bay where we took an easy walk through the woods to a beach that is as beautiful as any I have ever seen. Exiting the trees, the spectacular sandy, deserted beach was actually a bit of a shock. The dogs ran hard, up and down the beach. Sometimes a dog can show you what pure joy looks like and this was one of those times.

Unfortunately, Blue drank so much saltwater (chasing and biting the waves) that he felt ill and cried and pawed me all the way home.
Our dinghy outboard motor is giving us trouble and so it took us a long time to get back to the boat. Not sure if we’ll be able to figure out the problem on our own but we’ll try…we really need the dinghy to work.
