June 28, Denniston Point to Jackson Passage

Another mostly uneventful day with good mileage. Left Denniston Point on an ebb tide an got a good push, with little resistance from winds. Caught the flood as we turned the corner to work our way through a narrow series of passages into Mathieson Channel and rode the flood most of the way to the East entrance to Jackson Passage. Carl especially really enjoyed paddling through narrow, shallow passages hard to transit in other kinds of vessels.

Found a nice campsite with an upland tent site and a nice beach landing. Had some neighbors as the cove at the East end of Jackson Passage is also a popular anchorage for motor and sail vessels. Thought about continuing further, but we were unsure of finding further campsites for several miles, so decided to call it around six.
