Quintupeu Fjord

From Llancahue Island I join a group of six passengers to visit the legendary Quintupeu Fjord. There are scattered clouds and sun that allow for some good photos.

Here is Llancahue Island as we begin the journey down the Comau Fjord

In 1915 a German warship was evading the English navy and entered this small fjord to make some repairs. It is about 3 miles long and only one half mile wide. The narrow entrance to the fjord allows for a sneaky hideout. When the English were about to discover them, the Germans left a decoy of a large raft with lights and fled the area in their ship.

It is just as I expected: emerald green water along a rocky shore with dense, green vegetation of every hue. The walls of the fjord are perpendicular at times, covered with trees and bushes.
