Ship's Log:
Morning clean-up took place underway today as we got going to take
advantage of the slack tide in Upper Rapids at the north end of Okisollo
Channel. Upon entry into Discovery Passage had the unique opportunity to
report a bear foraging on the beach. We have been treated to many such
sightings as Bald Eagles and Rhinoceros Auklets. At 1000 we found ourselves
abeam Bear Point, Johnstone Strait and set sail. The day continued with
showers off and on as we enjoyed a lovely following breeze pushing us at
speeds between 6 and 8 knots. Two trainees took advantage of the abundance
of fresh water falling from the sky and lathered up their hair as if they
were aspiring offshore trainees. Trainees are taking on increasing
responsibility in the handling of sail. Colin loosed the main topsail and
Catherine loosed the jib topsail. At 1515 the wind switch abruptly to the
northwest forcing us to beat the rest of the way north through Johnstone
Strait. David and Kayden furled the main topsail while Kyle assisted with
the furling on the headsails. We are now anchored in Boat Bay, which lies to
the north east of the infamous Robson Bight. Standby for more...
