We motored back through Laredo inlet,past Alston Cove, into Laredo Passage ,with Aristazabal  Island (what a name heh??), on the left, Princess Royal island on the right. We were at a big piece of open water here, where the water comes in from Laredo Sound,and the open ocean, and the beaches are chock full with logs and driftwood, all a beautiful silver color, but as you look closer, you see the bright blue, yellow, red and green of many fenders, washed ashore. It was a beautiful, bright, windy day, ( no, not for sailing,wind on the nose), and after chatting with a tugboat captain, we all of a sudden were surrounded by we figure a dozen Pacific White Sided Dolphins.  They jumped and dove under the bow, looked right up at me, some seemed to be racing, 3 in a row, they stayed with us for a mile and a half, what a sight, these fellows are amazing acrobats. The more i talked to them, the more they seemed to interact, trying to splash me, as they jumped right below me, ( i was hanging as far as i could over the bowsprit).  It ended up being a long tiring day, but the dolphins made it so worth while. Chapple inlet is beautiful, a creek runs into the anchorage, surrounded by grassy fields, i thought for sure i would see a bear here, but the fish arent running yet. I sat in my kayak, well into the running creek,still lots of water coming off the mountains, and just sat there, looking and listening, old cedars and  hemlocks lining the shores, yellow Indian paintbrush in the grass, the rocks are all orange and black, which makes the total scene look as if its out of a book. The red throated Loons were calling nearby, and an Eagle flew over, very close over my head, heading into the woods for the night.
