After "Dual Head" camp we crossed the fjord over to
Chenega Island. We made our first stop at an
abandoned village the was hit hard at
the earthquake 1964. 27 people died that day from the tsunami that hit the village and the survivors left the place. Now its a place for remembrance.
After that we proceeded to the east side of the island to a campsite opposite Squirrel Island in
Knights Passage. Hard to find a good spot above the
high water tide line. Me Tom and Toby did some calculations and thought we ad a foot to spare for the nights high tide. We were right! But both me and Tom went up in the night to be sure we didn't flood our tent. There was some waves hitting the beach and they came within inches of the tent. But we stayed dry and didn't have to move.
There was a full moon that night so I stayed up for an hour to film and take photos. Magical night!
A lot of bear tracks along the small river behind our camp. Also as it was maybe the hottest day most of us got int the water to have a swim after arriving. That was nice!
The next day we crossed over Knights Passage and to "Herring Point" where our next camp would be. Again a very beautiful place! All our campsites are beautiful but some just a bit more so.
I had the chance to go with Josh that day during the moving to paddle along the shore and in between small reefs and islands. Very, very nice day in the kayak.
In the evening i did some rolls in the Chilko kayak, but it is a kayak with a too high back for me to do nice rolls. But I still managed to do a few. I went to bed early that evening.
