On to Pruth Bay, other boaters kept telling us, you have to go there, its a wonderful place, so away we went. No sailing, just motoring, saw a beautiful Stellar Sealion , a big bull,, all by himself, snorting and looking at us, apparently they are endangered. The wind came up, right on the nose, all the way down Kwakshua channel,plus the tide was against us,so we made very slow speed, Pruth Bay is at the end, just about, very close to the ocean, the Hakai Ocean institute is there, it used to be a fishing resort, but the Hakai bought it, everything included, dishes and all, the property is very well kept, the buildings suiting the surroundings.  They made a wonderful trail,to the ocean, and as you come out of the woods, you are met with a stunning beach, all sand, silver bleached driftwood, and incredible rock formations, what a joy to see.  There is no garbage on the beach, the reason being that everyone pitches in, a huge bin is at the entrance to the beach, where you can put all the plastics.  By now, all the debris from Japan is starting to flow in, up at the buildings they have bins ,chock full of fenders, every colour imaginable ,every size.And then to think, that this is just one little spot along the shore, what about the rest of it……..I love this beach, and it makes us very exited , to look across the ocean, straight across to Japan, but to the south….Australia!!!!!!! But , we will talk about that later…
