June 28 & 29, 2024 - Shearwater to Windy Bay
A long day of cruising today - Eagle Bay back to Shearwater to pick up spare parts. A quick natter on the dock with Ross and Elizabeth and then off like a herd of turtles. 8 Hours of cruising up Finlayson Channel to a place we never stayed before, probably because the name was unsettling.... "Windy Bay",
We saw what appeared to be a gray whale, didn't have the usual little fin on it's back, so we can only assume that it was a Gray.
Ever have that non-stop laughter at the most inappropriate time? Had one of those moments on the drive up Finlayson. Sitting downstairs calmly scanning another mountain of photographs and then I hear the loudest crash from upstairs.....thinking the worse, I run up the ladder to see Mike sitting in his chair at the helm, but the chair has come off its base and Mike is at a right angle on the floor, still sitting in his chair. After ascertaining he was okay, I could not quit laughing, as a matter of fact I am so sorry I did not have the mind to grab my camera to take a picture! Still thinking its quite funny, but Mike does not think it funny! All fixed and he is once again sitting up right.
Peaceful couple of nights in the rain, listening to the water being funneled into the water tanks from the rain. Off on June 30th to our most favourite place!

We think its a Grey Whale, not a humpback.
