Ship's Log:
Tuesday was spent travelling south to Hesquiat Harbour near Estevan Point. We set sail at 1030 and flew down the coast to our anchorage arriving at 2130hrs. We enjoyed the best sailing day yet running down wind, wing on wing reaching speeds over 10kts. Many sail changes amidst some large west coast rollers. Everyone was fascinated with our tour of Cougar Annies Garden, a remarkable legacy left by one of the more colorful characters on our coast. Those at home should google Cougar Annie to read more. From Hesquiat we moved on to Hot Springs Cove where all relaxed for hours in the soothing thermal pools masterfully placed along side the rolling pacific. Today our plan is to go whale watching south of Flores Island and anchor near Vargas Inlet for the night. All are well and growing together into a strong community.
