August 16, 2019 - Desolation Sound: Prideaux Haven


We left Pendrell Sound along with many of other boats.  It was a boat parade leaving.  A few of the boats may have been tucked away in a small cove out of the wind, but we imagine most had the night winds we experienced.  We are tired!  Once entering Prideaux Haven, the most popular spot in Desolation Sound, we were surprised at how many boats were inside.  After Alaska and northern BC, where were almost always the only boat in a bay, it is a shock to enter a small bay and see 30+ boats anchored close together.  We ended up going into Melanie Cove (a side cove off Prideaux Haven) just as a sailboat was leaving so we anchored in his vacated spot the middle and did not worry about a stern tie.  Well, we did worry but other boats were able to come in and find a spot for themselves.  We considered moving to a stern tie, but there is room for a few boats to anchor in the middle without a stern tie.
