Desolation Sound - Day 10 at Laura Cove

We got a very early start (6:00am) to get through the rapids again at slack tide as we headed  south to Laura Cove in the Desolation Sound Marine Park area. We had a good trip and passed a resort that had so many Grady Whites that Bob had to get a picture of them all. That is one thing we noticed up here is that there are Grady Whites everywhere – many that have the Jacobsen's sticker on them.

We cruised behind Morgan Island and outside Eveleigh Island on past Prideaux Haven and Melanie Cove to check out Laura Cove. We had been told by Jane and Duane Engle that it was a really nice place to anchor and we had to agree! We found a lovely area at the end of the bay where we dropped our anchors and stern tied to the beach.

Bob and I took our kayaks out after lunch and paddled over to Melanie Cove and back. It was quite a way because the tide was so low some of the natural waterways were dry. It was beautiful and we had a great time. The water is very clear and were able to see starfish and sea cucumbers as we went around the different islands.

 

 

 

This evening we had a difficult time cooling down. The temperature was about 95 and we had no shade until around 7:00pm. Bob set up our umbrellas to add some shade to our boat and to the Smiths. Al and Larry found shade between the two boats.
