Jane's log:

"We left goat cove in the rain and headed up Sheep Passage.  The fjord sides and waterfalls up the coast were really impressive but as the sky was still overcast when we turned into Kynoch Inlet, we took a quick look at the waterfall, and decided to give our two nights in Culpepper Lagoon a miss.  We'll head down Mathieson Channel and get to Ocean Falls in a few days to get our winter jobs sorted out.

"Saw lots of seals fishing, and jumping fish, along the way.

"We came through Jackson Narrows to a small cove Bob and Kris had recommended.   We sat in the cockpit after anchoring (no rain!) and listened to the ravens.

"We'll bring Ching ashore for a quick trip.

"Luckily only two boats came through the narrows while anchored.  The wake could have been a problem!"
