August 31-September 2, 2018 — Port McNeill to Booker Lagoon, Broughton Island

The fog, so typical for this time of year, plagued us once again on our crossing to Booker Lagoon.

And then it started raining, and it rained every day.  But, I paddled anyway,  looking for photo ops.  I found this black bear looking for low tide goodies.

This seagull seemed to be king of the rock.

Other than seagulls, I didn’t find anything but this kingfisher.

We enjoyed the prawns so much when we were here in May that we were looking forward to more of the same.  So, we were really disappointed when Al pulled the trap and instead of prawns, it was full of nothing but rock crabs.  Not good.  The commercial prawners must have been busy here all summer.

When Al was pulling the trap he spotted a pair of dolphins.  We haven’t seen dolphins here in years, so it was nice to see that they’re still around.
