Codville Lagoon

Wolf tracks along beach at Sagar Lake

 

After Pruth Bay, we headed to a favourite, Codville Lagoon. Rain also headed our way. LOTS of rain!

But we caught a break in the rain, and even had some sun for the 20 minute walk up to Sagar Lake. As with our last visit in 2018, the bugs were out in force too.But we were prepared with bug repellant.

The beach at Sagar lake is amazing considering it is wilderness (as opposed to a resort on Okanagan lake). Along the beach was a long trail of wolf tracks. In the past, we have gone for a quick swim. But we learned last time one is too "exposed" for the many biting bugs,so we decided to not swim.

We arrived back at the boat just a the rains began (again). And it rained hard for the rest of the day and night.

Next day, we headed out and went to Shearwater, with a stop at Bella Bella.

Shearwater Resort is now owned by the Heiltsuk Nation. It seems to be running as before (except they no longer offer fishing trips). We had an excellent dinner of fish and chips in the Fisherman's Pub.

INFO: The fuel dock at Bella Bella has broken off, so now only space for one boat. Also, their diesel "isn't working". But they were happy to let us fill up with their excellent water,and to leave the boat there while we shopped for provisions in the band store.
