Homfray Creek was the first site of the trip where we really had any thoughts about bears--some old bear scat on the logging road be we camped on--but no real worries, though we did hang a bear bag to keep some of our light, food-smelling items out of reach of raccoons and other similar nighttime visitors. All of our food fit pretty easily in our bear cans and ursack by this time.
June 9th was another pretty high-mileage day, during which we managed to make it as far as the Rendezvous Islands, after more beautiful travel through deep fjords, and after a stop on Raza Island, where we found a suitable campsite. However, after the previous night, we felt we could do better, so plugged on to the Rendezvous Islands, which we knew to have good campsites, even if they were somewhat out of our way. The extra mileage was worth it! We found a site on a pretty peninsula with mossy, grassy flat spots to locate the tent, and a beautiful view up Calm Channel to the North. Of course, when I say "found," I mean, "found with the help of data available from the excellent BC Marine Trails web site, which includes GPS coordinates and a map for known kayak campsites."
