Ship's Log:
A great day to stretch our seabound legs as we will have travelled
several km through temeperate rainforest on beautiful boardwalks by days
end. The day started with our first adventure in the dories to row
ashore to Boat Basin, the gateway to Cougar Annieīs Garden. The Garden
is an old homestead started in the early 1900s and a storehouse of
history, culture, wildlife and gigantic cedars. We had an oppurtunity to
be toured around by Peter, the original caretaker of the garden in its
restored form. After a dip in a lake we returned to the Swift for lunch
and some formal lessons while calm at anchor. We weighed anchor
midafternoon to head for Hot Springs Cove. The swells were significantly
smaller today as we had a short passage in open water, much to the
delight of many aboard. People were taking the time to chat, play
guitar, read and make arts and crafts projects. It was a joy to see
people relaxing and opening up. We are now tied up at Hot Springs soon
to depart for an evening dip in the hot, natural pools that cascade down
to the Pacific swell. The path to the springs is a beautiful boardwalk
through the forest that follows the run of the coast. The lightly
falling rain will surely only enhance the pleasure of the springs.
