Day 2: A Day Paddle To Blunden Island

Lunch Stop In Cove On Blunden Island

 We paddled around Ahous Bay, passed the river mouth and crossed the small channel to one of the many islands around Blunden Island, eventually stopping at a secluded cove on the N/W side.

The weather was still good with light winds and calm sea, so we settled in for lunch.

Gourmet Lunch

 During lunch we realised the wind was increasing and shortly it was up to about 15 to 18 knots.

We decided to sit it out for an hour to see if it would decrease.

Of course it didn't, so we set out through the narrow entrance into some largish swells. It was a bit bumpy at the headland but the Telkwa handled the conditions well and I had some great surfing down waves. By the time we reached the lee of the island, the wind was lighter and the swell had eased, but we still had fun surfing across Ahous Bay to our camp site.
