Anchoring in Walsh Cove & Exploring Toba Inlet - Desolation Sound Marine Park, British Columbia

- After we visited Grace Harbour and Prideaux Haven, our next place to anchor for a few days in Desolation Sound was Walsh Cove. Situated at the north end of the Waddington Channel between East Redonda and West Redonda Islands, it makes a sheltered starting point to explore Toba Inlet.
Walsh Cove is fronted by some small islets called the Gorges Islands. At low tide, they make for a spectacularly beautiful scene as the water around them is a greenish-turquoise color. The waters are rich in life fish, oysters, and kelp beds. Surrounding the cove are large hills and mountains and sheer rock cliffs.
Our trip up Toba Inlet, a deep mountain fjord, was disappointing due to a low-hanging shroud of wildfire smoke obscuring the coast mountain range and no grizzly bear sightings. We plan to return next spring for another shot at it. Even better when the snowpack is still on the mountains, and the multitude of waterfalls will be flowing.

Beautiful pictures .
Smoky it might be but the view was still amazing! Thanks for sharing.
We stopped at Walsh Cove on out attempted trip up Toba. Like you, we fought smoke, but also had an ebb going up and would have had a flood coming back. Stayed at Toba "Wildernest" for a couple of nights. Hiked up to their water wheel electric generator system...very fascinating. Had a small pod of Orcas pass between Double Island and the marina as I sipped my coffee early in the AM. My wife missed the show as she was in the shower. She was not happy.
Is it more fun on the boat than the RV (Cougar).
Its more fun in the summer but come fall and winter the RV will be more fun again since we can take it south. :)
With a small boat do you need to study the topography to avoid hitting rocks?
Yes with any sized boat you need to look at charts. There has been paper type since the old days but now most people use GPS chart plotter software. Navionics is a very popular one. Here is a web version to get the just of it. webapp.navionics.com/#boating@11&key=msxpHrjfzV It shows all the depths and where rocks are, and other hazards to avoid.
@@LoveYourRV thanks so much!
Are those mosquitoes or a drone I hear around 4:50?
It was a drone
Are you catching any fish to eat?
Been catching and eating some crabs. Just got bought fishing rods, net and lures so going to try them out.
Cool, let me know what you catch. We just caught red fish, trout and whiting at padre national seashore in texas using fresh dead shrimp in the surf @@LoveYourRV
Up here we have a good chance to catch several varieties if salmon like Coho, Pink, Chum, Sockeye and Chinook, rock fish, ling cod and halibut. I'd love to catch a small halibut. Use to have it as fish and chips all the time back when I was young but now the stuff is so expensive!
Do you show yourself?
Yes, sometimes. Mostly if I'm just chatting with my audience. Here is a recent example - th-cam.com/video/qz2e66bexOU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bNhPLpM5fHosBpQp Cheers, Ray
