Another 'first' for me, Glenthorne Passage on Prevost Island, one of the most popular spots to anchor in the Gulf Island archipelago. After threading my way through the long entrance, past private mooring buoys, crab traps and numerous private docks I 'set the hook' in the still quiet southern basin, which also had a couple of private buoys and a somewhat rotten looking floating cluttering the surface.. No one but little me here yet, so I was able to select a prime anchoring spot.
Instead of raccoons, herds of sheep wander along the shoreline of Prevost Island, which is mostly in private hands.
Here it is, the private floating dock, smack in the middle of the Cove.
And to support the floating dock, here is the 'fixed' one. I was fortunate to have been given permission to walk along this structure to take a peek into the rural hinterland, which is liberally dotted with No Trespassing signs. Not much walking around here...
One of several dozen signs ensure that the Private Property business does not slip one's mind. Three sisters hailing from Seattle own this rural island paradise, they were busy haying...

Calm, sunny, summery....
Gotcha moment...a small fish is slithering down his curved gullet
Herons were quite abundant here...maybe the bald headed eagles have left their nests along so they can breed in peace.
Pretty shoreline along the passage...
