After our sleepless night at Kwatsi, we decided to do a bit of touring and put in at Shawl Bay Marina and get a good nights sleep. Enroute to Shawl were several places we wanted to see that had been written up in the cruising guides – Watson Cove and Lacy Falls.
The entrance to Watson is extremely narrow with rocks to starboard and the room inside isn’t much better but it was worth getting in to see the scenery.
Lacy Falls is exposed so there is no anchorage but it is worth a look. Water streams over the granite rock face giving the appearance of lace. Snow melt earlier in the season from the high snow fields makes this quite spectacular. It is more difficult to see this in the photo but it was still pretty.
Next stop was Shawl Bay Marina with its floating houses and cedar log docks – a common sight up here.
This is the five o’clock pot luck tent.
A broader view of the marina.
This is called old man’s beard here and by other names other places but it is a lichen that grows not he trees.
And finally, a couple of nice sunsets.
Just realised I didn’t do the post on Kwatsi Bay yet. Oh well – will do that next.
