Barkley Sound adventures part 4

One day while we were out exploring at a low tide we found this sea cave, which was really more of a tunnel since it had two openings. It was cool but spooky and brought out the 10 year old inside each of us. "Wow, this is so awesome! This is the best sea cave ever!" "Yah! Cool!" That's Matt outside the cave. I'm glad the only things living inside this cave were very small sea creatures.

One of the many beaches we explored. Amazingly, on most of these beaches we were the only people around. Everybody else was out fishing I guess. (They do say the fishing is incredible here.)


We did run across mink on several of the islands. At first we thought they were river otters, but once we got a closer look at one, we discovered it was definitely a mink. They love to cruise the beaches looking for yummy things to eat.

This was one of my favorite beaches of the trip. It had rounded granite boulders, faced Imperial Eagle Channel so had great wave action, and also had sand and lots and lots and lots of little shells, many that were intact, many smaller around than a penny. The sand was covered with them. Treasures everywhere, and it was hard not to take any souvenirs!
