2010 Trip 3 - Pacific Swift

The morning sun rose behind a watery sky, creating a vibrant orange
light that bathed the Swift in a warm glow. The same warmth couldn´t be
said of the air which was chilly enough to see the emergence of long
buried pants, socks, scarves, toques and warm coats from below.
Johnstone Strait is lined with beautiful steep mountains and the high
mist clung to their wooded sides as we motored along in the still
morning. We have anchored in a new spot at Blinkhorn Peninsula, it is
beautiful and wild with a view down the Strait. We went ashore to
explore the beach and play some games. A distant black bear was spotted
snuffling for his supper under the rocks along the shore. We did an
initiative task with the group and it went very well. It was a good
challenge in which everyone worked together and accomplished the task
and learned some life lessons further building the strength of the
community.
