We had great traveling conditions all the way to Forward Harbour. 

 

We spent the next few days waiting for neap tide, since our next leg will take us through a few areas with rapids. 

The weather was so benign that I was able to paddle every day.  On my first morning,  I paddled all the way to the head of Forward Harbour, where there are a few rough cabins.

 

They had a large greenhouse.  Wonder what they’re growing in there?

 

Every day I found something to photograph, like these herons…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…and these common loons, with their winter plummage…

 

 

 

 

…and this kingfisher…

 

 

…and this seagull… yummmm.

 

 

 

…and this mink…

 

 

 

 

For the last few years we’ve noticed a couple of boats anchored just outside Forward Harbour.  So, one day I decided to check them out 

 

 

 

 

 

As I got closer it became obvious that these boats had been abandoned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nearby, I also found the remains of a sailboat that ran aground here many years ago.
