George Sound

Motored from Milford Sound to George Sound today. Not much wind and a lumpy sea with the occasional very large swell. The wind has picked up since we arrived here and it is raining and misty, I think we got in at the right time! George Sound appears pretty with lots of waterfalls and the shores are more tree lined but it is not as spectacularly steep as Milford. We are tucked up in a little nook with the anchor down and four permanent stern and bow lines tying us to the shore. There is a small waterfall
trickling into the anchorage and a very large one gushing down just beside. On the trip down today we were visited by two pods of dolphins, one accompanying us for over an hour. Still haven't seen any whales though and I shall be complaining to LINZ as a whale symbol is quite clearly marked on our chart for Milford Sound! We really enjoyed Milford Sound but it will be nice now to be off the tourist boat route!
