Red Sand Beach of Sagar Lake, King Island



June 2, 2007
Time: 0930

Log: 2834.1 Hrs: 77
Lv: Pruth Bay, Haiki Recreation Area
Course: Hakai Passage > Fitz Hugh Sound > Codville Lagoon, King Island
As we got back into
Fitz Hugh Sound, we put the sails up and had a nice tail wind for most of the day. Can’t ask for anything better!
Arv:
Codville Lagoon Marine Park, King Island
Time: 1700
Lat: 52 03.74 N
Lon: 127 50.25 W
Trip: 26.8 nm
Crossed another degree of latitude. We are inching our way north.
We anchored close to the trail to Sagar Lake, the first boat to arrive for the day. Two others come in an hour or so after us. The sun is getting hot so we put the covers on our dodger windows. Charles comes outside and finds a nice place in the shade. After dinner (marinated pork tenderloin kebabs with jasmine rice and steamed broccoli), we dingy over to the shore and take a hike to Sagar lake. The book says it has a beautiful red sand beach, and they are right. I have never seen anything like it. We could have been on a beach in the Caribbean. On the way back, Jerry sprained his ankle. So when we got back to the boat, we put our feet in the cold seawater and ice in our drinks!

Kathy, all of your pictures are so beautiful and it looks and sounds like you're having the most wonderful experience! I'm glad the weather has been good. Just keep posting. These pictures seem to be bigger than the ones you've previously posted. Did you do something different?

Hi Kathy and Jerry
Wow what a wonderfull expierence for the two of you. The spots and places you see, you do not get to see on a cruise. I enjoy everything your telling us. I am almost sorry I am to old to start what you are doing right now. I am glad to get to see it on the pictures. Prnce Charles looks very content, must have gotten used to sailing. I am looking forward to your next posting.

We are really enjoying your blog. It's the next best thing to sailing along beside you. Your photos and the variety of your observations are excellent. Charles seems to be growing more fur. Is it getting cooler?

Yes, you are right Charles is getting more fur, and we are considering shaving him again, just to give us something to do. The weather actually seems to be warming up the further north we go. Thanks for the comments.
