While voyaging north and south it is necessary to exit the sheltered inside passage to cross the open waters of Queen Charlotte Sound. The convenient anchorages used to wait for good weather are well marked on any skipper’s charts.
The shallow entry to Fury Cove, not quite as scary as the charts make it seem
While Fury Cove is not explicitly marked on the official charts, you will find Fury Island, a small island on the southwest corner of Penrose Island, behind Rouse Point. Fury Cove is the small cove on the north side of the island, entered through the cove labeled as Exposed Anchorage on the charts.
It is the entry that puts off many, the entry into the inner cove is quite shallow, with 3.7 meters indicated on the charts. The Nordic Quest’s sounder shows about 20 feet under the keel on a zero tide. Once in you simply anchor in the center of the open water. There is ample swing room to anchor several vessels.
