Ship's Log:
We left the springs today with great memories. Warm baths 2-3 times a
day.peaceful walks through the forest and quiet.hot springs cove is a
provincial park located 20 miles north of Tofino. Accessible only by boat
or plane it truly is a small bit of paradise.the springs themselves are
found in a 60´ gorge and have 6 pools naturally formed by the pooling water
as it flows from the source to the sea.last night we all went for a later
soak and had small tea lights set up throughout the gorge. picture if you
can a softly lit passage through the rocks with small groups chatting
quietly amongst the mist. late into the night everyone enjoyed the
atmosphere and the walk home along the 2 km boardwalk through the
forest.during our stay two of our trainees had a thrilling fishing
experience.leaving just before supper and heading out to sea in one of the
grace´s dories our team had visions of halibut dancing in their heads.
Three hours later and heading for home with time left for just one more
pass of the lucky spot, things began to happen. trolling for salmon and no
longer thinking of halibut the catch hit. without a gaff, net or standard
´fish-bonker´ our brave team landed a 30lb halibut as the sun was
setting.this fish fed everyone to bursting last night. We figured their
luck was due to the fact that they had chosen a banks dory off a fishing
schooner as their mode of transportation. We are making steady progress
toward home and all are well.
