Airship | Saycuritay Cove to Racey Inlet/Bone Ache Anchorage, BC

by and

I set the alarm for 6am this morning, thinking we’d get an early start, but it was still fully dark (oops) at 6am, so we snoozed and left at 7am instead.

We had a beautiful cruise down the east side of Campania Island (Squally Channel, not squally today) into Campania Sound and Caamaño Sound before tucking into Racey Inlet and cruising all the way to the head of the bay (about 5nm). We anchored in “Bone Ache” – northeast of Wale Island, and then dinghied around to explore a bit. This is a gorgeous anchorage.

Just around the corner (marked Bone Anchorage on the chart) is a dramatic waterfall hidden behind these trees…we went as far as we could by dinghy and then later Kevin took the mini drone up for a better view.

I LOVE getting to see the aerial views of where we are!

More lakes that connect up with the water from Archie Lake, but I couldn’t find any names for them on the chart

So beautiful in here, and so nice to have some sun again!
