2010 Trip 2 - Pacific Grace

As we neared the bottom of Jervis inlet on the
third day we were greeted with a lovely breeze which allowed us to set sail
around 1600hrs. We continued sailing towards the enterance of the inlet until
2100hrs. This sail was idyllic with the sun setting in the west and large
mountain tops creating an amphitheater for us to sail in. Sunday night we spent
in Thunder Bay. Next morning we got underway around 0830hrs and again found a
great breeze which allowed us to set every sail we have, all topsails and
fisherman staysail were flying as we sailed past Powell River on our way north.
As the tide was not the best for playing on the beach at Savary Island we
continued north to Teakerne Arm, a favorite stop for everyone. At the head of
Teakerne Arm  is Cassel Lake which empties into the arm by way of Cassel
Lake Falls. Both the lake and the falls are wonderfully warm. On arrival we
enjoyed swimming off the boat and today ( Tuesday) we have all visited the lake
and falls to enjoy the warm fresh water. Later today we will head south back to
Savary to make use of the low tide tommorrow. Savary is a jewel of an island
with friendly people and acres of white sand beaches, a great spot for some
challenging beach soccer. All are well and becomming closer each day as a group.
Last night we had a great group discussion on Identity and how we define
ourselves. There was good participation and
honesty.
