For the Birds

It’s a calm, gray day. We pulled anchor at a civilized hour, 8am, and departed Mark Bay for a 9:26 slack tide through Dodd Narrows. We timed our arrival to the narrows perfectly and were just about to turn into the channel, when a large tug appeared coming the other way. It was towing a raft of logs, just the right width to barely slide through the narrows. There was nothing for it but to wait until tug and tow had cleared the channel. So we waited. 



We eventually passed through the narrows without incident and by noon were anchored in Clam Bay.

My guide book has a notation in pencil that I anchored here in Aug, 2008, but I don’t remember it. It’s a lovely little bay though; full of the songs, calls, and squawks of a healthy bird population. 


Sloppy Joes for dinner tonight.
