2011 Trip 5 - Pacific Grace

After our Juniors finished their exam this morning we were off to explore a rumored little bit of paradise at the head of Barkley Sound in an area known as Pipestem Inlet. Anchoring at 1300hrs the dories headed up the estuary that eligibly led to paradise. We were rewarded with a delightful row up the quiet estuary to a series of waterfalls and deep pools. There were multiple swimming holes and multiple little waterfalls cascading down rocky cliffs. We had the area to ourselves and with the sun making an appearance later in the afternoon this did seem like a tropical paradise, with the exception of the cold water of course. With everyone fresh water cleaned dories were back in time for our boat Sunday dinner of roast beef, Yorkshire puddings, mashed potatoes, gravy and salad. Our evening was spent under the stars enjoying a Sunday service together.
