Here Alone

I've been amazed that there are so few boats populating the Anchorages. Anchorage popularity is seasonal and we are here early, so it's no surprise that there are fewer boats about than in the peak summer months of July and August, but June is only a week away and there is no one out here.

Two nights ago we were in Galley Bay, a sprawling Anchorage in the heart of Desolation Sound, widely considered British Columbia’s most popular marine park and internationally renowned as one of the premier cruising and sea kayaking destinations in the world. With park provided stern tie anchors dotting the shore line, Galley bay has room for dozens of boats. Ours was the only boat anchored there. 

I've been in Grace Harbour, where we anchored last night, with fifty other boats. Last night there were two other vessels. The economy and the price of fuel has really had a visible effect. I feel for folks who pin their livelihoods on the boating economy. It's great for those of us that are out here though. We've had most of our anchorages to ourselves.
