After a great stay in Ukee we headed out mid morning to the Broken Group, Pacific Rim National Park. This park has many low lying islands and islets that are perfect for exploring by kayak and dinghy. I read somewhere that there are more than 100 of these islets. It is necessary to slow way down and be extra careful with the navigation, especially since the fog tends to move into the area rapidly! Our first stop within the park was Joe's Bay. It was actually a group of three islands which formed a nice little bay for anchorage. We were able to have a kayak adventure exploring around the islands and stopping for lunch at a beach not too far off. Dodd Island (our lunch stop) was full of old growth trees and had small garden area which is the only reminder of a fellow by the name of "Joe" who lived here in the 1960s. The island was also the site of first nation potlatches and other ceremonies. We liked this anchorage enough to spend two nights here.

We kayaked over to the midden beach for a little
walk about. Talos IV is in the background. |

Janet just picked some sea asparagus to mix in with our salad.
It turned out to be way to salty for our palette. |
