Safety Cove

We left Shearwater Marina on saturday with beautiful weather. The sky was blue and a soft breeze at our bow,until we reached Fitzhugh Sound. We could see the fog bank in the distance and when we hit it, yuck, just like pea soup. We switched on the radar and listened to the radio as the BC Ferries powered ahead a 16 knots dodging the small boats that dotted the channel. We stayed well out of there way. The fog lifted a few hours later. We found 2 humpback whales playing in the entrance to Safety cove on the west side of the channel. We floated along side them for about an hour and watched them spout, wave their tails at us ad bump into one another. They gave us quit a show. We decided to turn into the cove to anchor for the night and of course out of range for a picture they both breached beautifully. I guess we need to be more patient. Safety Cove was a good choice of anchorage, until nine little fishing boats decided to come in and anchor within 60' of us. We picked up anchor and moved. I guess we where in their spot. We woke again to fog and are on our way to Port Hardy.
