Fury Cove



Thursday, June 30, 2015



Blue Sky, Sunshine, no wind, low low tide, great reflection in the water.  Brad us able to use the Institute guest internet to up load all except the last blog.  There is a usage limit per day.




QUIET MORNING PRUTH HARBOUR, CALVERT ISLAND


FITZ HUGH SOUND

Heading out Kwakshua Channel into Fitz Hugh Sound.  There are no other boats anywhere to be seen until the afternoon. 


SAILING IN FITZ HUGH SOUND

As soon as we are in the sound we set sails for a downwind run that take over two hours at 3-5 knots.  It is very peaceful.  Other than the mechanical sound of the water maker, all we hear is the lapping of water against the hull and the flapping of the U.S. flag off the stern. 


We don’t have to change direction until we are past Fish Egg Inlet.  We turn west for a short while before stowing the sails and motoring into our anchorage. 


FURY COVE

This is a lovely spot between little Fury Island and the larger Penrose Island.  Fury Cove is large enough for several boats in 25-50 feet, but not enough room for fetch.    While very protected from the swells, the wind does swirl around about spinning you on the anchor.  There is a picturesque gravel beach and gaps in the landscape to reveal a window to the sound. 


We didn’t quite fill the water tank today.  Engine hours 2.4, nautical miles 4.5.  Our GPS coordinates 51⁰29’284 N, 127⁰45’519 W.
