Returned to the Broughtons Friday and sat out Saturdays blow in snug Joe Cove on Eden island. Although it didn’t stop the constant rain, there was barely a ripple from the strong winds outside.
The old float is getting pretty tuff.

Mr. D,
Is it winter yet?
Rained heavily this morning here and was not predicted.
Don’t know Joe Cove or Eden Is. Must be where I haven’t gone.
Stay warm and stay safe.

Eden Island is next island south of Broughton island. Joe Cove is on the S side of Eden Island.
The old float is getting more than tired now...
It literally poured while I was there! And blew!
This is a very safe, secure Cove in a blow!

It was better 5 years ago, but not much. Are you making the long run to Lady Boot Cove next?

Back then it had the “condemned “ sign on it 😄
Headed out looking for a new anchorage. At the suggestion of a friend, I went through “old passage” which was quite narrow and full of kelt in spots but fun and funky to do. With no set plan, I ended up anchored in a quiet bay about 3/4 way up Simoon Sound. Nice bright spot, pretty and great sunset view too. Only about 25ft at low tide so easy anchoring. I love the sunny spots as the solar panel gets a chance to work.

Yea that Joe Cove float looks much like the floats at Namu the last time I was there. And that pulls up images of Butedale.
As always thank you for the wonderful pictures.

Putted down to Lagoon Cove
I was the only cruising boat there other than the caretakers. I guess the young couple found the winters too quiet and lonely so headed back home until spring.

That’s another of the many places I’ve not gone and wished to go.
Thanks again for more excellent pictures.

Thanks for the great pics and descriptions of your anchorages. I've been looking up the ones I don't recognize and adding them to my list. You've found yourself some lovely locations!
Have you been dropping any crab or prawn pots lately?
Stay safe and enjoy!

haven’t been after them this season. Rarely fished actually... seemed always doing something.
Are you familiar with this area?

HaHa didn’t catch a southerly .. lucky guy.
I’ve only done the Strait once. And it was southbound .. I was lucky re the winds too.
All other passages have been via the back Channels. But the strait may be more scenic.

Was only on for the minimum hop...then inside again.

Yup,
Most to many get slammed by strong NW afternoon winds northbound. Then there’s the tide.
