Sly nailed it. Only thing is what the heck is that flat thing doing on the docks in Secret Cove? Details please!

Yes Sly and ab Correct! The flatness came from the outer contours of Epsom, I do encounter them during the seasons when we can fish, I typically have one rod in the mud. Same at Bjerre. Last year was the first in a while where I did not hook one but saw a nice photo of one from the area.

ab Thanks for posting the answers! I was scratching my extremities on #3 looked real familiar but could not place it (Also just discovered the zoom-in option.) Now if Squitty bay masts were in the distance I would have nailed it.. Nice area.

+1 for Princess Louisa. Big long public dock for easy tie up. Provincial Park has half a dozen lovely shaded sites with tables, firepits, water and outhouses. Virtually everyone stays on their fancy cruising boats and we've never seen anyone else camping there in our half dozen trips. Zero camp fees too! Takes roughly two hours from nearest gas dock at Egmont.
Malibu Rapids are comparatively mild. Cruising boats need to be cautious in the swirly water as it's narrow and you can't see the entire length of the rapids. But faster planing boats can transit safely at all but the strongest tides.
If it was road accessible, Princess Louisa would be one of the most visited and photographed places in Canada. Stunning scenery and so tranquil, like a cathedral in there. Worth going in wet weather because there are something like 70 waterfalls running.

I know that area well, been on the docks at dent too many times. How did you manage to land on those docks? I thought that was a private property that didn't provide accommodations? Unreal spot, still hate the swirling water around there haha
