July 6, 2013 – Up Marble
River
We said good bye to Coal Harbor and pulled up anchor around
noon (watching for Jeff’s plane possibly flying overhead en route to Seoul !) ….
and headed to Varney Bay (near the end of Rupert Inlet) for the afternoon,
where we dropped anchor and tenders and headed to Marble River (which drains from
Alice Lake – for those of you with Google Earth !!)
It is a most beautiful, ethereal spot … a gorge with steep
rock walls, beautiful clear water anywhere from 1-8 feet deep and lush, vegetation
hanging off the sides of the rock …. STUNNING.
The view from where we anchored … beyond, is the mouth of
Marble River
A tree at the mouth of the river - her moss “dress” (Versace I believe) floating in the breeze.
Talbots at the front of the dinghy on “rock watch” … much
like Baywatch but I couldn’t talk Penny into wearing the red Speedo bathing
suit.
Heading down the river …..
Christopher, Diana and Codi ...
Denis kayaked the river …..
Coming back out the mouth of the river with our boat just
beyond.
From here, we pulled anchor and headed back through Quatsino
Narrows and back to Julian Cove for a quiet ( and wind less) night and CRAB dinner!!!!!
SUCH AN AMAZING DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND … it’s looking like the weather is improving and we MAY
be able to head around Brooks Peninsula by … Tuesday ?!?
