Pirate Cove!

Posted on May 14, 2016 by bob

ARGHHH MATEY'S. We're at Pirate Cove!  On DeCourcy Island, about 15 miles SE of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island.

It's a lovely spot.  Here's a few pictures to describe it.

Very appropriate "X" marks the spot to get in. It's a very shallow, somewhat tricky entrance. You have to line up the "arrow" painted on the rock, with the "X" in the tree in order to find the channel.
Once you find the channel it's very narrow. About fifty feet wide between the starboard side red mark and the reef on port.

 

Once inside it's quite lovely.
OK, I can never show enough shots of Charisma at anchor.
...And there's a Treasure Chest!
Time for a little sightseeing...
...a little hiking...
...some birdwatching...
...and of course, Eaglecam!

    I like that carrier approach line-up-the-X system. Did they have a wire for you to catch as well? Looks like you missed out on the treasure trove, somebody already emptied the chest.

    The famous Battle of The Loaves.....a gigantic and terrible struggle between two seafaring, warring nations. Dozen of slices were lost.

    Venture on, venture on sailors....
