Exploring the Hood Canal - southbound

Friday, June 26th -- Now, winding our way south, we have a beautiful sunny afternoon cruising down the canal to the big bend at the end. There are so many beautiful cottages and homes on the shore and many, many sand & shell beaches. Both the captain and the owner are enjoying the rays and deep into recovery mode.

Perfect spot for afternoon tea!








Along the way, we meet a beautiful sailboat just as we turn the corner of the "Big Bend". She is certainly a pretty sight in full sail.


We meander by Union (a town to be explored next day), past a fancy resort newly restored called Alderbrook and make our way for our night's anchorage across the canal at Tahuya Cove.

The captain in repose at anchor in Tahuya Cove as he sketches a record of our arrival.






The dinner gong is sounded and the captain is presented with a large filet mignon steak and trimmings for his day's effort. This will help to fatten him up!
