Walsh Cove has no marina or public dock. It is a small bay where several boats can drop anchor and spend the night. Sailors like to call this, "a night on the hook." After dropping anchor, Jim and Joy used the dingy to connect a line from the stern of Segue II to the shoreline. Once they got to shore, Joy climbed up the rocky bank to wrap the line around a tree. With both the bow and stern secured, we stayed in one place all night. We used the prawn cage from our friend in Comox in trying to catch prawns. This was not much of a success in fact not successful at all as our total catch was zero. So far we have had steaks, bratwurst, chicken, and lots of salads. We haven't done so well with seafood. Walsh Cove was beautiful and perfectly quiet. The next morning when we got up, the tide had dropped about 8 ft. and exposed hundreds of oysters clinging to the rock cliffs at shoreline. When we pulled up the anchor in the morning, there was a huge rock in the cradle of it. It took us some time to get the anchor in and the rock back to the bottom of the bay.
