James Bay, Prevost Island

Leaving Ganges we had a quick motor thru Captains Passage to Prevost.  The island had 3 small coves, all subject to swell and winds from the NW. We tucked into James Bay as this was a BC Marine Park. It is the newest of the park holdings and very primitive. The anchoring was tight (small area) but we fit in between two other vessels. 

Janet rowed the dinghy to shore and found large quantities of oysters on the rocks. This was not good for landing as it would slice up the bottom of the inflatable. We rowed around the shoal to another landing site about 200 yards off and beached. The trail was not more than sheep track, and at points it completely disappeared into the bush. We wanted to go out to Peile Point on the NW corner of the island. After a few missteps we finally made it! Our prize was finding binoculars someone forgot some time ago. Note: if they are yours please identify the brand and we will return them.

The small bay allowed us a great evening rest and quiet time before moving on to Montague Harbour, Galiano Island.
