[[line]]Saturday June 5/80[[line]]
Most of the morning rather foggy. The tides today appeared to meet in Grenville Channel about where 126 fathoms is marked on the Br. Adm. chart near Bare Hill. Turtle Pt. Gil Id. has no very marked hill on it. A good deal of dead timber and more low and level land than noticed heretofore was seen near the entrance from Wright Sound, especially on the south side.
Bare Hill is merely the long spur of a higher one W. from it which is wooded. There are several good beaches and camping places between here and Wright Sound on the southern side. The mountains back from the shore, inside of the first range are often perfectly bare rock. The rock appears to be the same from Cape Calvert up to this vicinity as far as could be seen.
Near Nabannah Bay on the southern shore

Coming from Hecate Strait for Clarence Str. Tongass Mountain at the S. end of Gravina Island is very prominent and a good mark.

Capt. George is correct. It's a fancy capital C.
