Kwatsi Cove, Broughton Islands

Kwatsi Cove was highly recommended by at least two other boaters so we set the prawn traps near the entrance and tied to the dock for an hour. The small store was cute, with pottery, fleece jackets, jams, honey, books and knickknacks. A potluck dinner was planned for the evening but we chose to not take part and anchored in the bay.

Sitting here, at anchor, I can hear the rush of at least 6 waterfalls surrounding us and feel the cool breeze blowing down off the snow capped mountains which are towering over the inlet. I feel as though I’m aboard a Norwegian Cruise Line ship and that there should be glaciers and polar bears!

The clouds are hanging low over the mountains and I count two huge rock slides which must have started at least 400 feet up the mountainside. It would be a very pretty picture on a hot sunny day, but right now it’s not where I’d like to be if I had my ‘druthers’! Hawaii Cruises would be more to my liking right now, especially if I was aboard a Royal Carribean Cruise Line ship.

We have shiners which I caught at Lagoon Cove and we plan to go fishing, using them as bait. I also bought a halibut lure which is a bright yellow and red squid attached to a sting zelda. With a shiner and a piece of octopus as bait on the lure, I’m sure the halibut will love it. We’re going fishing ‘just for the halibut’! Heh, heh - okay that’s one of two jokes I know…
