Friday, July 15th


Left Second Bay and continued through Collin’s Inlet.  Once again we have warm, sunny weather but hardly any wind.  It really doesn’t matter though cause the Inlet is too narrow to sail in so would have to motor anyway.  We decided to pass through Killarney channel without stopping and spend the night at anchor in Covered Portage Cove so that we would have a full day ashore at Killarney when we dock there.  Covered Portage Cove is a beautiful cove nestled between cliffs.  We anchored in the inner cove with about 6 other boats already there.  Then we took the dinghy ashore to the start of a hiking trail that leads up to a lovely overlook of the bay.  After hiking we took a spin around the inner and outer coves admiring the boats at anchor and the lovely scenery.  Back to Quinita and swam off the back.  The water was clear and warm.  Oh yes, it’s Friday so we had a little happy hour with homemade salsa that we bought at the Farmers Market in Lion’s Head (scrumptious!).
