2011 Trip 2 - Pacific Swift

Last night provided a perfect sunset, bathing the bay in deep purples and oranges as the sun was extinguished in the placid waters. Of note, several crabs were caught before service and in the quiet time following, under starlight, one crustacious Houdini escaped his aquarium and conspicuously squelched his way down the afterdeck towards the freedom of the scuppers. the long runs of the past two days provided opportunity for a bit of a sleep in this morning. Sleepy eyes greeted the sun and rhubarb crisp during breakfast on deck. After dishes we rowed ashore and played a great game of frisbee tag and then combed the white midden beach for tidal treasures. The famous rope swing made an appearance this afternoon and trainees realized how good they had it in the warm waters of desolation sound. A short run south has us settled in the secluded splendour of Ellen Bay. Likely a fun evening of skits and music awaits us. All are well and enjoying life.
