We made our way from Oro Bay, the morning of the 4th, into Case Inlet, passing the small Herron Island ferry on the way.
It was a bit windier than we expected when we arrived at the cabin, so borrowed a neighbor's buoy for a few hours. My photo is looking at the Europa from the cabin bank.
After 4th of July festivities, we took a quick trip across Case Inlet to Jarrell Cove for the night. It was calm and serene the entire late afternoon and evening. We inflated the kayak and had a nice paddle.
Power was out on the entire island (Hartstene) and we watched quite a few people come into the marina expecting to gas up. They were very dissappointed! (Another reason to never get too low on fuel.)
The wind picked up and really howled for a bit during the night. Between fireworks and banging against the buoy a few times, it was a little noisy after such a calm afternoon. We love this place!
I finally mounted the boat hook after months of trying to decide where to put it.
We left Hartstene yesterday and headed to Mayo Cove. We were hoping to find an open buoy but boy was this place crowded! Fortunately, there was a lot of space at the dock. And a zillion people picnicking and partying on the beach. Lots of day boaters, and a ton of rafts, kayaks, and paddle boards. A few families that were together on the spit decided to launch people in a kayak to slide down the beach and into the water. It was actually pretty funny to watch. Most of the adults immediately capsized.
Fortunately, it cleared out and we enjoyed a quiet night.
It's a little windy this morning, so we'll head out for a hike instead of kayaking.
