Shoepack Bay

Tall majestic steep hills and ledges define this anchorage and as a result it provides great protection from the bad weather. It rained heavily for a lot of the afternoon after a walk through the thick woods to the other side of the peninsula. Lots of singing and hand clapping were involved to keep away the bear that was sighted here a week ago. On the way sailing the 10 miles here from Moiles Harbor I had to thread my way through islands and a narrow channel called Little Detroit. Tomorrow I hope to meet Norm and Elaine again in Hotham East about 5 miles east of here who I met up with last year.
