My partner and I will be paddling from Bella Bella across Hakai Passage next summer. Our only stop south of Hakai Passage will be Wolf Beach and then, we will make our way back to Bella Bella. We are concerned about transiting Hakai Passage, as we've read that in good weather, the best times to cross are during flood, not ebb, tides. The problem is that on our scheduled date to cross, the flood tide may end before we get there from Cultus or Serpent, even with an early start.
Ideally, we would like to camp in Edwards Passage, just before the entrance to Hakai Passage. That would make the timing for the next day's crossing much easier, and we could wait out inclement weather if need be. As we'll be in a canoe, we can land at the edge of small embankments--we don't need a beach--just a flat spot above high tide to pitch a small tent.
From everything I've read, I cannot find any information about any flat spots to camp between Naulu and the entrance to Hakai Passage. If you've been through there and saw a potential spot, that info would be very welcome.
Thanks.
