Went camping at Sointula BC near Port McNeil.
!. Yes Mark there's fish boats everywhere w Claw anchors.
2. This is a 100% fabricated locally imitation Northill. I've often thought putting the braces for the stock on the shank side of the stock to but the brace in tension as it would be stronger .. or could be made lighter. But one would probably weaken the shank from heat.
3. Two serious anchors. A heavy Navy anchor. Truly massive. Note the unusually wide throat angle that is typical of these anchors.
4. Not often we see the basement of the the Excellent Spade anchor. Especially interesting is that from this vantage point the anchor looks much like the stern of a boat. I see the trip line shackle but what is what looks like a pin at the bottom of the "keel".
5. AhHa I've finally found a Rocna on a fish boat. The double plating on the fwd end of the fluke must provide considerable ballast.
6. A very nice boat and judging from the cuttwater was once in the timber/lumber industry.
7. Another very rusty chain but a good Northill anchor sporting all her own original parts.
8. A rather large boat w a bulbus bow and the biggest Dreadnought anchor i"ve seen. Another good Northill.
9. This is Mitchell Bay on the SW end of Malcolm Is. Malcolm Is is only 14 miles long and in the western center of the island is Solintula.
10. Always like to see the red traditionally painted railings on all BC docks. Funds went south so most are not regularly painter. Wife Chris on the left.
