Bugs! The boat is covered in bugs! I went outside to pull
the anchor and couldn’t believe the thousands of bugs hanging out on the boat.
Yeah, I don’t think I’ll do any kayaking or dinghying here.

We motored down to Kake, seeing quite a few whales along the
way.
After a quick stop at the fuel dock to top off the water
tank we moved offshore and dropped the anchor. We needed to grab a few
groceries and also visit the liquor store. We checked off those two errands,
then continued towards Goose Bay.

Moments recommended Goose Bay thoroughly. They’d seen bears and a moose
here earlier this summer. We made it through the narrow, shallow entrance just
fine and dropped the anchor, the only boat here.
We explored a bit by dinghy, but didn’t find any wildlife
immediately. Later on, after dinner, Erik spotted a black bear sow with two
cubs. We hopped in the dinghy and approached as quietly and close as we could.
This is a particularly quiet anchorage. As we drifted in the dinghy watching
the bears, we could literally here as birds flew overhead, their wings fanning
the air.
