Codville Lagoon

Monday, July 27, 2015

 We pulled up 250 ft. rode with anchor at 08:45 and departed Shearwater.  We’re back tracking out Lama Passage and taking it slow to make more water.  On the way we spot two whales fairly close.

Out in Fisher Channel we set sail and tack back and forth heading south.  Eventually we turn north and sail downwind back to Lagoon Bay. 

There is a fishing boat pulling in its net. 

Inside Lagoon Bay is a narrow entrance to Codville Lagoon.  Once inside the area seems huge. 

Crossing to the east side of Codville Island we set anchor in 50 ft.

Travel time 4.25 hour, engine hours 3.4, nautical miles 22.7.  Our GPS coordinates 52◦03.693 N, 127◦50.399 W. 

 

After lunch we prepare the dingy and go to shore.  There is a strenuous 1.2 km trail to Sagar Lake.  The trail is part boardwalk and part climb over tree roots in soggy soil.  

Sagar Lake has sandy beaches which look really nice in the cruising guide book picture.
