Gertrudis to Rae Basin
Rounding Estevan is an
easy ride although we thoroughly enjoyed a full day sail here last time. This time we are only able to use the
headsail for a bit. We turn into
Hesquiat Harbour and anchor inside Rae Basin at the top of the Harbour. We have never stopped in this area before but
our goal is to go find Peter and take a tour of Cougar Annie’s garden. We land the dinghy and attempt to find the
trail mentioned in one of the guide books.
After nearly two hours of crawling through brush and over logs we put
the sun on our right shoulder and make our way back to the boat. Tomorrow we will try the other approach, and
land the dinghy right at Peter’s house.
Although the hike was a bust we are rewarded with three different bears. One wanders the beach, one appears on the rocky point and the third is a real treat. He swims in and climbs out on the rocks and climbs the solid rock slope coming our way, offering us some nice photo opportunities.
