2011 Trip 3 - Pacific Grace

Today was our sleep in day so most were sound asleep until 0915hrs. Kailey our cook was up earlier making our traditional sleep in breakfast of banana pancakes with peaches and whipped cream, bacon and oranges on the side, delicious. We had a short run today down to the south end of Calvert Island and are presently anchored in Chic Chic Bay, lovely name don´t you think. Before leaving the northern end of the island we retrieved our crab trap which had been set last night by Jacob, Noah and Alex. To everyone´s surprise the boys returned to the boat this morning with 14 large Dungeness crabs. Everyone was thrilled and participated in preparing the crabs for cooking. As today was boat Sunday we enjoyed roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, gravy and salad for dinner. Oh yes and before dinner our appetizer was fresh crab dipped in garlic butter. Tough life, we know. After dinner we had Sunday service on deck looking out over the vast Pacific. As there is stiff NW wind forecasted for tomorrow we are all looking forward to a good sail southward making our way closer to Port Hardy.
