Thurs Aug 25 I got up at 6:00 and the weather forecast was for light winds (they don't talk about much else on the marine weather channels - never temperatures or cloud cover and the only mention of rain is in regards to "visibility of less than 1 mile." K&B kept on sleeping but got up at 7:00. I suggested Beresford Inlet and the Hotsprings for a day trip - our last full day :( We paddled into JS Sound and it was some of the calmest waters we have seen the whole trip. We simply made a B-line form Murchison Island to the mouth of the Inlet. The Inlet was formed by a fault. It felt like paddling a straight river, straighter than any river ever but with no flow - it has a current but we basically paddled it at slack tide. Later when we came out, the sound had some wind but it was easy to take the waves at 45 degrees so we were heading again straight for Murchison Island. We stopped before the point for a short break and then when we left we found ourselves in unexpected and big choppy waves. It was quite exciting and when we got around the point the waves were more predictable. I guess that was our first taste of unpredictability at points and capes. I tried to lead a shortcut to the Hotsprings but the tide was too low - we would have had to portage 3 metres - so we had to circle about some islets and rocks. When we arrived at the Hotsprings we were the only ones there. They had over 48 today including a few boatloads like the ones I saw leaving just before we arrived. Great soak on a cooler day and I was wet from tipping over my kayak on a less than graceful exit at shore. We stayed late, paddled back to camp and it was my turn to cook dinner - luckily it was an easy one so we didn't eat too late. Sat around the campfire until 11:00 and now I'm in the tent and this trip ends tomorrow :(
