We left the protected area of the steel-tubed breakwater by a little opening near the boat ramp. The destination for lunch was Telegraph Cove, a cute little town that is a prime tourist destination for those travelling by land. It has the Prince of Whales whale-watching group operating out the corner area of the main downtown area, a cafe/diner with some really good hamburgers, the ability to stay in the 100+-year old houses, a new hotel, and they are rebuilding the whale museum that burned down a couple of years ago.
[We parked in an open slip and wandered around the town in our wetsuits]
[Quaint houses that you can rent out by the night]
After lunch, we paddled out of the cove and headed south for a bit. Rounding a large peninsula head, we turned 180-degrees and headed back into a beautiful cove with an established campground. Blinkhorn Peninsula protects this little bay from winds from either north or south, along with it very own large waterfall on the island side not too far from the camp area.
After we got our tents set up, we were entertained for over an hour as two porpoises rounded up small fish and enjoyed an all-you-can-eat buffet.
[The photographer not quite thinking, missed the waterfall just off the right side (bottom?) of the picture]
[Our entertainment for the night--porpoises!]
