Kingcome Inlet BC

Don’t assume all tugs with tows will be on AIS. Some of the small independent operators are not on AIS. I encountered a tug with tow crossing my bow during my first steam in pea-soup fog in Wells Passage. He was the stand-on vessel but the second target on the radar moved along with the first and I was trying to figure out what was going on. It was a bit of a pucker moment! And he was not on AIS. All was revealed when he loomed out of the fog. Since that event, I often hear VTS announce when a tug with tow are not on AIS, but then you have to listen to VTS channel to know.

I went through Nakwakto last May and it was fine both in and out, but I went through at slack. It’s a fairly short transit and so it was not particularly challenging and there was no traffic. There was a “Fathom Element” that was completely destroyed going back and forth in the mixer known as Nanahlmai Lagoon. I have no idea how that situation developed. There used to be a link to it on the web but I can’t find it anymore.

We spent 10 days in Seymour, Belize and Alison Sound. We saw two other recreational boats while there.

Hi Waterford,

If you're still interested in Kingcome, you might want to read Two Wolves at the Dawn of Time by Judith Williams. Ms. Williams describes the creation of the giant circa-1998 pictograph at the head of the inlet, as well as providing additional photographs of older pictographs on the cliff below. In addition, her book provides an excellent look at the late 19th and early 20th century history of Kingcome inlet and its inhabitants.

A good read, and the pictographs are a treasure!

I last visited in ~2008, and found suitable anchorage in Belleisle Sound. And yup, it's a fair hike to head of Kingcome Inlet. I'd love to wrangle an invitation to visit the village.

Regards,

Pete
