Another lazy start (it is a holiday after all). Hanging in Codville Lagoon enjoying the hot weather, and attending to misc jobs around the boat. Up anchor at 12:00 to head to Shearwater.

Lama Passage has a bit of commercial traffic but nothing to worry about. We pass by Bella Bella, old Bella Bella, and head into Kliktsoatli Harbour (Shearwater).
We anchor in Donkey Cove / Kliktsoatli Harbour. There is a log boom right in the middle but we make it work in the north side of Donkey Cove.
Time to head to the Pub for Drinks! We dinghy over and enjoy the quick tour around Shearwater, then into the pub. We were very impressed with Shearwater. Food was pretty good, and the grocery supplies were also pretty good. The marine supply shop was particularly impressive with a good stock.

Up to check the anchor in the night after a 10' falling tide and all was ok - close to shore but no worries.
The warfinger (very helpful chap) cautioned us when pulling the anchor in Dockey Cove due to old logging equipment there - he had heard stories of anchors snagging. We were fine.
After being to Sheawater we realized we were far too worried about finding a cove to anchor in and that Kliktsoatli Harbour itself would have been fine (later in the trip we did so).
