| Poyntz Island to Broken Islands: 19.0 nautical miles |
I had a long slog today paddling
against the wind to get up Johnstone Strait. It is a beautiful area; snow-capped peaks, rocky shorelines, sunshine and a lot of wind. This
section of Johnstone Strait is the closest the mainland and Vancouver
Island get to one another, about 1.5 nautical miles.
Blenkinsop Bay was uninhabited and
looked attractive. Just before there, I stopped on a beach for a
break and followed an estuary a ways looking for water. It was
brackish though and I gave up. There are more water sources in this
area.
I ate Sea Asparagus with dinner last
night. After lunch today, I found some Salmon Berries for dessert
and this evening's meal was mainly Oysters. I am almost out of those
and will need to look for more shellfish soon.
The Broken Islands are nice but the
campsite is back in the woods. At first, I was disappointed but
eventually I found I liked it. It was almost like being indoors and
maybe a change is good. I saw Gumboot Chitons at my lunch stop and
also here at camp; this area must be a good place for them.
