Gorge Harbour To Carrington Bay - Cortes Island British Columbia

We spent nearly a week anchored in the peaceful Gorge Harbour, in a quiet cove with no other boats around. The weather was mixed, mostly cloudy with some sunny breaks and occasional rain, typical for June. Leaving the harbor, Anne navigated through a narrow passage past stunning rock walls adorned with arbutus trees and rumored ancient petroglyphs, though I couldn’t spot them. The scenery was breathtaking, especially at low tide, with seals lounging on rocks and a beautiful spit visible as we passed through Uganda Passage.

Next, we headed up the side of Cortez Island to try anchoring in Carrington Bay, a picturesque spot despite its reportedly poor holding. The bay was calm, with minimal wind, and we found a protected anchor spot near a waterfall and lagoon. Though the holding was rocky, the weather forecast looked good, so we decided to stay a few hours to explore. The sunset was stunning, and I dropped the dinghy to check out the nearby lagoon, where we found oysters, tide pools with sea stars, and a scenic trail with cedar trees and a small bridge.

The next day, with a northwest wind approaching, we decided to move on, unsure about the anchorage’s holding. We planned to head to Evans Bay or Bird Cove, both well-protected from the coming wind, for a new adventure. It was a serene and memorable stop, and we're already looking forward to the next exploration.
