Drying out in Klemtu. We laid all our cushions, sleeping bags, etc. out on the large dock to catch a little sun.

From Shawn's log:
7.23.02 Klemtu is a wonderful stop! Showers and laundry along with a new modern dock. The Band has a grocery store above the dock. This is a First Nations community, and the locals are super-friendly, generous (Jerry Lang would have filled our entire boat with ice, if we had let him), and have a great sense of humor. This town didn't get a lot of press in the cruising guides, but we think it's a "must-do."

Hakai Passage/Pruth Bay/Calvert Island
Had it not been for some gale force winds across Queen Charlotte Sound, we might not have stopped here. We sure would have missed a lot. We spent a few days anchored here. Not only did we enjoy some "Indiana Jones" style hiking, incredible scenery, and good crabbing, we also got to know the wonderful owners/hosts of the Hakai Beach Resort on Calvert Island. Another advantage of a small boat: the resort docks cannot accomodate large vessels, so most boats need a tender to go ashore. The C-Dory is small enough to temporarily moor under the gangway while we explored this truly magical place at the ends of the earth.
If you're going to do one of those seaplane fly-in resorts, this is the one to go to, folks!

Hakai Beach...a 7-minute walk from Pruth Bay. (Don't let the above "ropes and ladders" deceive you. It's the other coves that require a little more effort).
