Pacific Grace Trip 5 2008

Yesterday we enjoyed a true "west coast" experience, pouring rain, 30kts of south east wind, spectacular views of storm beaten headlands and regular visits by local sea otters. Everyone enjoyed a very boisterous sail as we made our way to Kyuquot a small community located just south of Brooks Peninsula. With just the foresail set the Grace was flying down wind at over 8kts. Sailing maneuvers were exciting as the wind was quite strong. On arrival the Grace was welcomed by old friends excited to have us visit. After some lessons in the dry hold everyone made their way up to the local store for a "sweet fix". We have been experiencing some of Kyuquot´s 12 feet of rain, which it receives annually. Soon we will have moss growing behind our ears. All are well and spirits are up despite the liquid sunshine.
