Pacific Grace 2009 - Trip 3

Another great day yesterday. After breakfast all marched up to the lake for a morning dip. Cassel Lake is warm at this time of year and has a wonderful slab of rock near the trail where we all gather to swim from. A bit of water polo and some log gymnastics were the water sports of choice. We were underway again by 1100hrs to make the tide at Yuculta and Dent Narrows, a current infested area of the coast. For the transit of these two passes one has to be a little early for one and a little late for the other as they are in line with each other and a span a distance of about five miles. Spectacular mountain views and many eagles are the prize for transiting. We are now up above Campbell River and our anchorage for the night was in Frederick Arm near Estero Basin. Everyone enjoyed a great sail after our transiting of the narrows yesterday. We managed to sail up the channel and then bear off for a lazy  run into our anchorage. Yesterday was also a productive day for Jacob´s prawn trap and just after lunch he had a lovely prawn and garlic butter treat for everyone. All are well and enjoying each other´s company.
