Ship's Log:
Left Port Hardy at 0900 today and headed towards Cape Scott. We were
planning to wait for weather in Bull Hrb. as it was blowing 40 at Sartine
Island just NW of the cape. As we approached open water it looked as if we
were getting the hoped for break, so we proceeded. Twenty miles east of the
cape we set sail and enjoyed one of the most beautiful sails this voyage.
Wind was 25-30 NW, we set trysail, fore and jumbo. Initially we were close
reaching and as the day progressed and we made progress on Vancouver Island
as a lee shore we could sail further off the wind. Our day was spent at 6-9
kts with big seas, clear skies and a thrilling view of Vancouver Island to
port.
Everything was so clear and fresh, very much alive and full of life. We
live in a very beautiful part of the world. When the sun is out here on the
west coast everything shines. Tomorrrow we are planning a halibut and
salmon fishing derby before again turning south for the Rugged Point area.
All well.
