2010 Trip 3 - Pacific Grace

This morning we were greeted with a very calm very beautiful day. Johnston Strait was like a millpond, the antithesis of yesterday. Underway by 0900 and on the lookout for whales we made our way over to Robson Bight on the Vancouver Island side of the strait. Listening to the whale watching channel we were to learn that the Orcas were closer to Port Hardy today. There was a Humpback and Minke whale near by but they did not come over for a visit. Our attempts at fishing also did not produce the results that we were looking for and we put our lines away with only enough fish for  the crab pot tonight. Our afternoon was spent playing soccer up at the school field and strolling the historic main street of Alert Bay. Weather forcasts say that we should get some wind back tomorrow so the primary goal will be to do some sailing as we close the distance to Port Hardy. Wildlife today included porpoises, eagles and trainees heading to the candy store. All are well.
