Thursday July 6th (day 84) we arrived in Red Bluff Bay and actually enjoyed this anchorage and the fishing and crabbing for six days.

| View of the fresh water river inlet at the head of Red Bluff Bay. This is referred to as Bear Mud Flats. |
 |
| The mega yachts continued to come and go. |
 |
| More fishing equaled two more halibut. One each for John and Tom. |
 |
| Halibut filets ready to be bagged, sealed and frozen. |
 |
| Returning with more prawns, in the rain of course. |
 |
| Anchor up. Time to move the boats. |

 |
| The BEWARE OF BEARS sign was posted in July 2017. We were careful to carry our bear spray. |

| The dock is quickly filling up. S/V Gladiator, Beneteau 46, crew Kim and Eric from Portland made it in. |

| Quite the rushing waterfall! |
 |
| The bath house at Warm Springs Bay. |
