Gray Bay Octopus
Giant Pacific Octopus discovered in tidepool at Gray Bay, Moresby Island, Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada.
Several years ago some of my co-workers and I visited Gray Bay, a beautiful beach south of Sandspit on Moresby Island, Queen Charlotte Islands. This octopus was in a tidepool in some rocks, which was draining and soon would be dry as the water receded. We followed him? her? sliding from the tidepool to the each and into the sea - he or she moved almost at a walking pace over a uprising distance. One of the crew's dogs got a little too curious and almost recieved a snoutfull of ink and seawater.
Grey Bay is an excellent campground choice for visitors to the Queen Charlotte Islands. In the summer it is comparable to Tofino's Long Beach, without a dangerous surf and no crowds. Services are available at Sandspit, including car rentals and fuel (check hrs).
My wife Faye and I explore as often as we can - we are lucky to have visited Hawaii, Europe and the Middle East recently. Now based at Ottawa, Canada we met on the Haida Gwaii - the Queen Charlotte Islands - off the British Columbia coast.
