We slept in until nearly 08:00. After breakfast, we ran up to do the laundry and have showers. After a quick run back to the grocery store, we got away from the dock at 12:20 and headed NE via Troup Passage, between Chatfield and Cunningham Islands to Roscoe Inlet, which is a long, fjord that pokes up into the mainland, surrounded on both sides by 3000 to 4000 foot peaks. There are a couple of beautiful waterfalls along the way. The biggest surprise was that the water temperature at the head of the inlet was 22 deg C; plenty warm enough for a nice swim, which I engaged in after the labors of rigging the stern line ashore. We anchored at the head of the inlet, with a line ashore, at 18:30. We did not see another boat after we left Shearwater and we are all alone here at the head of Roscoe Inlet. For dinner, we grilled (in aluminum foil, with Panko and garlic butter, for 6 minutes) one of the pieces of halibut; excellent.  I flew the drone around for a bit after dinner.
