We would never make it back to Lake Anna at this speed, so we slid across to the left side and tried the current again. It was just slightly easier, we managed to pass a little point and then the current slacked off a little. As we proceeded slowly the current lost more power and we even entered a little eddy and glided forwards without paddling. Behind us Tanya and Al had managed to struggle past the point on the right side and were now making headway. As we waited for them we studied two sea otters at the kelp near us.
Sea otters are interesting to watch.
They will often float on their backs to rest. Sometimes they will more or less stand up in the water to get a better view. We camped here and hung our food high in trees far away from our campsite. There are lots of brown bears in this area. The tide had turned the next morning and it was easy to continue.
