Glendale Cove to Duck Cove, Port Elizabeth

4 ¾ hours 33.5 miles
The sun is out and we are looking for bears.  Still none on the beach we are near.  I saw a deer out there which tells me that a grizzly is probably not near.  We hopped into the dinghy to search the edges of the cove.  What luck!  There is a mom and cub turning over rocks around the corner from Aquila.  We cut the engine and just watched in awe.  This is partly why we are cruising like this, to see nature first hand.  We have to pinch ourselves sometimes. As if it couldn’t get any better, our dolphins came back and were diving in front of and under the dinghy.  Merlin was so funny, he didn’t bark just looked over the side as if to ask “where did they go?” At noon we have hauled anchor and heading back out Knight Inlet.  There are whitecaps and winds up to 35 mph.  Waves up to 4 feet. Worth it to leave Glendale Cove anchorage.
