8/4 Turnbull to Long Point Cove


This anchorage was just a short hop from Turnbull, in fact it’s in visible range and took just 2 hours to get to, and this included ghosting out of Turnbull for about 30 minutes. So, with almost no wind, and from the wrong direction, we had to motor yet again! Did I mention that the admiral likes two kinds of winds best? 1. No wind at all 2. Light wind right on the nose. You can guess why!
Long Point Cove is beautiful. Very small and well protected from all directions. It’s surrounded by the typical rock formations and trees of the North Channel, and we enjoyed rowing the anchorage and climbing a little viewpoint. We found our first blueberries here; they are a different variety than the ones in the stores, smaller but very sweet. Delicious! We ate them all on the spot.
On the way back we feared we were doomed, as we got lost in the dense forest. Eventually we found our way back to the dinghy.
