7:30 a.m. -- with a wave goodbye to Marty on Alizann, we left Pulpwood Harbor behind and headed south in light rain.  Waves were 1-3 ft as we approached Otter Head with Waterford in the lead.  A couple of sailboats were entering Otter Cove from the south, so Day Dreams did a quick check of Old Dave’s Harbor just in case.  Not enough room for 2 there, so we joined the sailors in Otter Cove.  In addition to the sailboats, there was a little Nordic Tug anchored --- plenty of room for all.  By 2 p.m. the rain began in earnest, putting a damper on any afternoon plans.

 
We attempted to dinghy to Cascade Falls, but had to turn back in heavy wind and waves.  We did make it to Otter Island and made the hike to the lighthouse.  On the way back, we stopped to pick fresh blueberries on the small island at the mouth of the cove.  Garry did some fishing and landed a couple of northern.

They’re fun to catch but not our favorite, so he gave them to the sailors. 



Like Day Dreams and Waterford, the two sailboats had been vacationing and traveling together for many years.  They were VERY interested in our trawlers!

The Nordic Tug, Connie B and the sailors all departed on Wednesday morning, so we had the harbor to ourselves.  Those wild blueberries made delicious pancakes for a late breakfast.  Still too rough to get to the falls – we’ll just have to keep that one in the old memory bank!
