The entrance into the Cunningham Channel. When you enter this channel you cusomarily give a call on channel 16 announcing your entrance, direction of travel and the size of your vessel. It is tight.
In the channel, pass the green to port and the red triangle on the rock island, to starboard.
After a windy night in Sandy Bay we moved on to the Bustard Islands. This little dingy channel connects the two sides of the island's anchorage grounds.
The collection of boats at the Bustards included GREAT ESCAPE, SONATA, STRANGER (a Grand Banks woodie from Ohio), DRAGON FLY and others.
A rock statute on the beach near SONATA's anchorage. The rocks are called an INUKSUK (plural inuksuit) which is a stone landmark or cairn (man made pile of stones) built by humans. The inuksuk may have been used for navigation, as a point of reference, a marker for travel routes, fishing places, camps, hunting grounds and have been of varying sizes and shapes. Inuit describes the various groups of indigenous peoples who live in central and northeastern Canada.
Collins Inlet is just below those little mountains . . . we are on the way.
A tight entry marks Collins Inlet . . . with a fast boat on the way to SONATA's bow . . . nonetheless, we made it!
The inlet, our travel down it, our anchorage at Keystone Island . . . all so very pretty.
SONATA resting in the midst of God's beauty, God's peace. What a wonderful, beautiful, peaceful surrounding! Collins Inlet.
