Bond Sound

Located at the big bend in Tribune Channel, this spot is for those who want almost guaranteed solitude. Chances are you will have the entire Sound to yourself. A Reserve of the Kwikwasut’inuxw Haxwa’mis First Nation is adjacent to the E side of the Atha River. Protection from the SW is not good, otherwise fairly secure with stern-tie possibilities on the N side of the Ahta River estuary. The Ahta River basin has not been logged. You can explore the river for almost a kilometre. The rock-strewn shell beaches are a main attraction. Pacific white-sided dolphins are a common sight, along with bears foraging near the river mouth.
