4 ½ hours 26 miles
We planned this 25 mile trip into Knight Inlet to see grizzly bears. There are no good anchorages and the one in Glendale Cove is marginal at best. Knight Inlet is quite wide and there is not much to see except snow-capped mountains in the distance. About a mile from the anchorage we were greeted by a group of dolphins. They were playing in our bow and stern wake. One has to smile just watching them. They seem so joyous and playful. Several of the dolphins are on their side looking up at me as I am leaning over the bow taking pictures of them. We anchored in the recommended spot in Glendale Cove. Much of the bay is foul due to old pilings & logs. We expected some rocking & rolling but this is ridiculous. We use our new flopper-stoppers at every anchorage and we thought they were helping, but… Both Fred & I had to put on Scopolamine patches to cope. Merlin is a basket case. Poor baby needed to be cuddled constantly (I know, not a big hardship). There are no bears in site when we got there. There had better be some tomorrow morning because we can’t take another night of this. The rollers off of Knight Inlet hit us a beam no matter what the tide is doing. The rollers stopped about 8:00 PM.
