Dobbin Bay
50° 47.081N x 126° 48.222W
Dobbin Bay forms an indentation into the southwestern shoreline of Broughton Island at the eastern end of Queen Charlotte Strait.
This is not a very good campsite and I do not recommend it as a planned destination.
I stopped here only because there was no other place nearby to camp and the weather was starting to deteriorate.
I had seen it written up in a kayaking guide and marked the location on my chart.
It would be impossible (or at least very messy) to land or launch here at low to mid-tide as the bay bottom is shallow and covered with sticky mud and scattered barnacle covered rocks.
There is a small spot to camp on solid rock at the top of the bay which stayed dry at high tide on the night of my stay. On 6-13-12, the high tide was 17.8 feet or 5.43 meters.
There is a water source here, cell phone service, and no bugs.
