Weather: Sunny and hot! Water Temp: 72
If you have read the Princess Louisa write-up, you know how
special I thought the place was. Tenedos Bay is also, just in a different way.
First: It is more
popular and frequented. There were
probably 12 boats within spitting distance and close to 50 within a mile. Not crowded, just busy.
Second: 72 degree
water temp, right off the boat!
Third: Unwin Lake,
a large fresh water lake a short dinghy ride and short hike way. Water temp there was also around 72F!
Fourth: A creek out
flowing from Unwin with pools and waterfalls.
Great for shower! The first time
I took Kelly, MM and Emma there, I felt like I had stumbled upon a sorority
pillow fight. Laughing, giggling and
general carousing! Great fun watching
this!
Fifth: RT picked a
great spot. Sun around 0800 and then it
disappeared behind the cliff and trees off our stern about 1600, relieving us
of much of the afternoon heat.
Sixth: Lazy
days. Wake up, breakfast, perhaps a boat
chore. Jump into the water as the day
heated up. Lunch. Dinghy to Unwin
Lake and swim in the clear, fresh
water. Go back to the boat for a read and/or
beverage. Jump into the water again. Dinner. Dinghy back to Unwin for a bath/shower in the
creek. Back to the boat for an evening
toddy. Bed.
Some interesting bits.
There were 3 large (70ft+) power boats moored near us. One morning they dropped a mooring buoy off
their bow. What's going on? Soon a float plane, painted crimson and grey
with the WSU logo painted on the tail, landed and taxied over to the float and
tied off. As soon as the engine was off
and the propellor stopped turning, two pre-teens jumped out of the plane, into
the water and while swimming over to the large boats shouted, "Hey
grampa! Hi grandma!" We now know what the rich people were doing
that day!
