Aug. 12th - Claydon Bay

This morning we left Sullivan around noon. We all took showers on the boat & then Rod made more water before we left since we had power. That way we don't have to use the generator for that. We stayed a night in Claydon last year on the way to Sullivan as it's very close & we were the only boat there. This time there are 3. There is a logging camp on the south side & we're on the north.
After lunch we went on a dinghy ride around the bay & checked things out. There is another Grand Banks here & we stopped to visit with them along the way. They told us that when they were here the last time they saw bears at low tide. That won't be until 9:30 tonight (too dark to see) & again tomorrow morning at 9:00. We're leaving at 8:00 to go back to Pierre's for Jan's flight back to Seattle so we'll be on the lookout for them as we go.
Now that we know the loud crying we heard at Jennis Marina were loons, we heard them here too. Jan was looking at the bird books & they said that loons make that loud call only when they are mating.
Tonight Jan is making us dinner on the boat. Maggie (one of our friends from the Desolation Sound raft) gave us some halibut that they caught (frozen) & she is going to make that. She's a wonderful cook so I know it will be delicious. And, it was!!! Cocktails were martinis made by the Captain (the best)! Dinner was baked cauliflower & garbonzo beans with a wonderful 2 mustard sauce, barbequed asparagus spears & a fabulous barbequed halibut grilled with lemon, capers & butter - yum, yum, yum.
