A nice run down on fairly calm seas to another new bay to
stay in. Well almost a restay. We were tied to Sea Raven, optimum word,
were. When the anchor went down, it was
nice and calm, winds were forecast to be light.
We took off gunkholing and whale watching. Some great anchorages that the douglas book
says not to go into – not be-labour a point, but the book errs hugely on the
side of caution. We found quite a few
nice, calm, protected and scenic bays that the book says local knowledge only
or not recommended. Pshaw I say. After a nice gunkhole and some good whale
watching, we head back to the boats. The
winds have picked up some and its quite rocky rolly in the bay. After dinner, we choose to separate and we
anchor separately. I ended up putting
the glasses down and the jewellery down as the rolling is now sideways and I
was worried that stuff would start being tossed to the floor.
It finally settles down enough for me to go outside for a
smoke for fear that I would get tossed into the water J - what do I hear, wolves
howling to the moon behind our boat, the very place where ruby had been playing
on shore. Spooky! I did wake up around 3:00 am to hear the
wolves had moved on to the bush beside the starboard side of the boat (around
50 feet away!) – not taking Ruby to that beach again! Ruby gets taken to the beach on an island
after we lift anchor and head out of the bay.
There we are greeted by Humphrey the Humpback doing acrobatics and
lifting its side flipper to wave goodbye!
My travelling companians!
Flat as can be!
