Misty Isles will be departing Cortes Bay with 8 onboard on Sept 5th and set off for an exploration of Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands. Enroute through Desolation Sound and Waddington Channel, we will pass by areas well known for their historic interest , natural beauty and warm ocean water temperatures. In the evening we will relax in the tranquil beauty of our camp at Solstua West on Rendezvous Island before retiring to the cozy tent cabins for the night.
The next day Misty Isles will ride the ebb tide through the Gillard Rapids and then the flood tide through the Hole in the Wall to work our way around Sonora Island which is famous for it's treacherous waters. Stops along the way might include Chatham Point Lighthouse or historic Owen Bay before spending the night at Solstua West once more.
On the final day, we will cruise back at a relaxed pace towards Cortes Bay via Lewis Channel, sailing if the wind allows.
