Still getting up with the birds....5:30 am - the prawners and crabbers are leaving the dock in Westview and the sounds of some cheerful young men giving each other the gears wake me up with a start. Watching the sun come up and taking Ruby for a long walk make me get up, fell asleep on the couch again, so no need to get dressed, saved that step :) The ocean workers have left and after some breakfast, coffee, moorage paying and chatting with our brother-in-law, its off for the next leg.
First, a bit of a fuel stop. We have to pay for our quick run up yesterday! 1400 litres, some dinghy fuel and we head out into about a 2 foot chop. Destination unknown although we would kind of like to get through the rapids at slack tonight (around 7:00 ish).
Nice cruise from Powell River up into Desolation Sound. The further up we get, the warmer it's getting. Soon time to ditch the pants for shorts! The ocean has flattened out now, no more chop and I am feeling the holiday mode coming up. Started cooking some dinners to free up some freezer space (Rigatoni anyone, or how about Beef and Barley Soup?) and trying to figure out how to use the breadmaker I have on load from Shannon.
Vancouver Island and Mitlenatch Island in the distance.
Savary Island - Island with the white sandy beaches
