2010 Trip 4 - Pacific Swift

Last night´s anchorage was beautiful. We lay to our rode with the
open Pacific around us, the scent of trees drifting off the peninsula,
and the myriad of stars mirrored in the surprisingly still sea.  Morning
clean-up was accompanied by two feeding humpbacks as the sun rose over
the yard arm. We made southing towards Kyuquot Sound in fine weather
until a chill fog bank draped over us. We remained bound in misty air
till we dropped anchor at Rugged Point.  The fog was roiling over the
tree tops and then dropping and swirling through the bay, giving way
occasionally to see glimpses of the nearby beach. We hiked through the
rainforest to the expansive beach on the outer coast. The beach is long,
flat and desolate.  The fog was thick about us on the beach till it blew
away during a rousing games of sticks, revealing it´s full length and
beauty.  We shifted anchorage up the sound to more sheltered waters for
the night. We have found rest in Amai Inlet. It is quite pretty,
surrounded by steep wooded hills and the distant peaks of the sound
watching patiently. Everyone is in high spirits as we live and work
together. Lessons, dishes, games and all manner of activities are done
with good will and a smile.
