And of all summers we chose this one to go around the Island....but because of the high pressure that created the gales we have had warm clear weather..no rain!!!!!!
It has not been that bad for us though...we have managed to go out early in the morning before the gales whipped up and we have stayed inside for most parts...
Sunday, Propinquity made a successful run between Tofino and Ucluelet...again gales...25 to 35 knot winds had been predicted except south of Estevan Point where light winds had been predicted...which made their sail a bit lumpy but okay.
Silhouette and Dance Lightly left Ucluelet, did some fishing, saw whales and slowly arrived into a place called Cataract Cove, Pipestem Inlet....gorgeous...
When we arrived we quickly jumped into our dingy and motored to Lucky creek where at the head was a beautiful waterfall falling into three pools. Sorry no pictures..
It was a bit tricky navigating the slippery rocks and then swimming all three pools but Linda and Barb managed to hike to the base of the waterfall...spectacular...Howard, Harvey, Murphy and Skye stayed at the first pool cheering the ladies on....thanks guys!!!!
That evening Dance Lightly was fortunate to taste one of Linda's fabulous meals...Thai cooking...again absolutely mouth watering...Linda is not only the Appie queen she is also the queen of cooking anything!!!! We have all had the opportunity at some point during this trip to experience her great cooking...Thank you Linda. There will be one blog dedicated to food....stay tuned...we are not home yet...I am sure there will be more great dinners/lunches to come that will need to be mentioned...
Not exactly sure where Blue An Teak sailed off to Saturday but we know they were wanting to go somewhere within the Broken Islands to some kayaking...
Story...Saturday night Silhouette and Dance Lightly decided to go out for dinner to the Canadian Princess...but we were a bit worried about Murphy, you see when left alone Murphy decides to serenade everyone around...
A decision was made...Skye and Murphy are getting along very well and seem to like each others company so we put the two dogs on Dance Lightly and zipped up the enclosure.! Linda let the boats around know that we were leaving and Murphy might sing a few tunes....we walked away...no noise...Skye you are doing a great job of babysitting!!!!l
Well.....we came back two hours later and saw a note pinned on Silhouette saying that Murphy was on their boat...Dream Weaver from Washington. It seems Murphy did not make a sound but was Houdini...the people from Dream Weaver were coming back from walking their dog to find Murphy running on the dock....not sure how he got out... put him back onto the boat but noticed a few minutes later he was back out again!!! This time they saw that he was crawling out from underneath the canvas...Harvey had not snapped down the enclosure...this still was a major undertaking because the enclosure is so tight with all the zippers down up!!! So, the kind people took Murphy on board their boat while they played cards and we came back from dinner. We asked how Skye was and they said she just laid there taking in all the excitement....way to go Skye...some babysitter you are!!!!!
Oh the joys of boating!!!
Sunday...meeting up with Propinquity in Joe's Bay....
Over and out from "Circle the Rock".
Maybe Skye didn't take the "babysitting course" and if she did sometimes those little kids can be tricky. Sounds like you're living the "Life of Riley". When I read that there weren't any pictures of the waterfall I thought maybe you were skinny dipping... :-) Hugs, Linda
