2010 Trip 3 - Pacific Grace

We awoke today with a completely different view. Last night the fog had rolled in and this morning there was only 100 foot visibility. Most of the morning was spent with radar, fog horn, electronic charts and extra lookouts all working in concert. Later in the day our favorite NW wind returned and once again we found ourselves making over 9 kts to windward beating up Gordon Channel outside of Port Hardy. Presently we are anchored in Cascade Harbour on Nigei Island, a beautiful nook that is open to the great pacific. today was ´boat sunday´ so after dishes everyone gathered on deck under the stars for sunday service. Tomorrow we hope to build a sauna somewhere on the beach and continue enjoying the remarkably wild scenery all around us. Our group is very comfortable with each other and are a treat to listen to during the discussions we have been sharing together. They are honest and respectful as well as genuinely interested in each others lives, traits not always seen in a group of young people.
