Pacific Swift 2009 - Trip 2

Day 7, otherwise known as boat Sunday, awoke as beautiful as could
be imagined. Starboard watch rose early, greeted by the iridescent blues
and pinks of calm sunrise on the strait, to weigh the anchor for our jog
down to the gulf islands. During the long motor some of the diversions
included; deck bucket basketball, tight rope walking, swinging on the
outhaul in a bosun´s chair skimming over the water, studying, backgammon
and the ever-present guitar and singing as preparations are underway for
tomorrow night´s talent show. It was also another day of beautiful sun
and calm winds. Fortunately tomorrow´s forecast should allows to put in
a good sail for most of the day. The engine finally stilled to silence
after anchoring in Ellen Bay, Prevost Island. It´s a beautiful spot,
south facing, densely wooded and very little sign of humanity. It´s
perfect spot to stop for the much anticipated Sunday roast beef dinner
(with all the fixin´s),quick cool down on the big rope swing and a
sunset service. We have continued to grow into an amazingly supportive
and caring community on board.The only complaint is that the trip ends
seems to be tumbling closer.
