To another wonderful location. Von Donop inlet lies further up the west coast of Cortez Island. It should take us 2 or 5 hrs. To get there, depending on whether we motor or sail. It's nice to have a choice especially in these times of unsettled weather. It has a very narrow entrance, followed by a dastardly underwater rock on the port side (that's the left side for you land lubbers :-) of the passage. In the old days (when I was much younger) there was a fallen tree that had landed on the starboard (right) side and lay pointing towards the underwater rock. We shall see if it's still there when we arrive.
One of the elements that guides our destination choices is whether or not the shore is dog-friendly and by that I mean; does it have easy and safe places to land an inflatable dinghy? Are there some trails of areas a dog can 'use' for business and for exercise? These are important points if we want Maddie to keep enjoying the trip (and, therefore, future trips). So far so good.
Wishing you all tangle free trails and sunshine. CJ
PS: likely poor connectivity over the next week or so as we venture to less civilized anchorages. No news is good news TTFN
