Here we see many boulder fields being exposed.

We tried to get into a river and it was too low a tide for that, but fortunately, our beach today, is like the ultimate bonus- it has running water coming out of the corner of it.

So that means we’ll leave here with full water, which is excellent because we haven’t seen that much running water on the trip.

We almost went up the Frenchman’s River corridor, but that would have been a five or 6k journey upriver to try to get to where the water was sweet or fresh because of the tide level we were at.

So anyway, we’re settling in, and routines are starting to happen.

The rosy pink sky is being reflected in the wash off the beach.

I don’t think we spotted any bear track on this beach, but every other beach we’ve seen lots and lots of bear track.

There are some moose tracks I need to go check on that Ken spotted.

Lots and lots of young ducks today, mergansers, lots of cormorants and a whole seal rookery with the seals all hauled out on rocks.

Some were kind of in the classic banana pose and some were just totally draped to sleep over the rocks and we just kind of quietly went by them and a huge juvenile bald eagle on a hill that looked so big from so far away.

We thought he could have been, maybe the stellar eagle had come for a visit, but no, he wasn’t quite ready to be a stellar eagle.

He’s a teenager being big and awkward, so.

Anyway, we’re having a fine time, we’re well-fed.

Tonight’s dinner was chili with couscous and cheese and applesauce and ginger snaps for dessert.

So we’re full, we’re happy, we paddled about 25k or so today and we’re pooped, so it’s off to bed we go.

Have a great day, hope you had a good day and we’ll catch you tomorrow

Bye.
