2012 Trip 3 - Pacific Swift

We elected to anchor last night at the entrance to Jervis Inlet in hopes that the wind might return today to help us along our way northwards. We were thrilled this morning to wake up to a 10-12 knot southerly wind and Swift tugging gently at her mooring ready to go. Anchor was up at 0600hrs and by 0700hrs we all sail set and were scudding along at 6 kts making for Savary Island which lies at the entrance to Desolation Sound. Our favourable breeze kept up with us and allowed us to anchor under sail in Keefer Bay on the north side of Savary. After lunch all went ashore for an energetic game of sticks on the expansive south beach. Savary is really a jewel of an island. White sand beaches, warm water, sun and friendly locals. It is always a treat to visit. Time seems to stand still here. With all back on the boat we are off to Teakerne Arm and Cassel Lake falls to meet up with the Grace for a joint mug up. We have a wonderful group of trainees this trip who are already working so smoothly together. They usually hang out together and genuinely enjoy each others company. All are well and enjoying the sunny warm weather.
