Jelly Invasion!

Day 10 &11 we decided to go to Roscoe Bay.  This very well protected by has a drying shoal blocking the entrance at low tide.  You must enter at or near high tide or you will wind up on the hard.  We determined 4pm would give us enough water to cross. The short cruise got us out from the steep walls of our anchorage.  Under sunny skies the tall snow capped mountains were a beautiful sight!  Once inside we once again stern tied in a great little spot.

As we turned off the engine and looked into the water all we could see is jellyfish!  It was amazing how many there was throughout the whole bay.  Millions of them, it looked like it was raining on top of the water as they broke the surface.  I guess we would be swimming with the jellies, good thing they’re not the stinging type.

Skylar swam while we made dinner.  It was a very hot day, over 80 degrees.  After sunset Julie and I sat on top the boat in what should have been a very quiet evening.  Some yahoo right next to us thought it necessary to run their loud generator well past 10pm, echoing throughout the bay!  I think they had it on to run their AC, at least they were nice and cool while we enjoyed the noise.

One more full day at Roscoe so we could have time to enjoy the lake just a short hike away.  This was a beautiful, huge, warm, freshwater lake that everyone swims in.  Jumping off the rocks into the deep lake was so refreshing after some hot weather.  Lots of people had the same idea, and it was fun to hang out with everyone, talking boats while we all swam in the lake!

After dinner we all swam in the salt water/Jellyfish again.  Its so much fun swimming to the rocky shore form the boat.  The rocks jet down to deep water so quick you can leap from the rocks into the water.

Skyar and I took the dinghy out in open water for some fishing.  Skylar caught a bunch of rockfish but nothing real big.  It was a gorgeous evening floating around with the engine off.
