Sailing, sailing, sailing That’s why we live the life we do, so that we can untie the lines and explore the world in our own backyard. From Sept 2015-October 2016 we sailed with a 2 year old and a baby from Vancouver to Mexico, across to Hawaii, across to Alaska and then down, Read More
Over the last week we have blasted north. Our trip has been faster than our internet! Here is a lump update.
Day 59: A tour of the whale museum at Telegraph Cove and a cultural visit to Alert Bay
Day 60: Explorations of the settlement of a group of utopia seeking Finns in the 1900s in Sointula on Malcom Island. Sointula means ‘place of harmony’. We agree
Day 61: Making some real northward progress now. We are tucked into Beavers Cove, watch the salmon jumping all around. First humpback sighting.
Day 62: Quick stop in Port Hardy then a great sail with winds up to 30 knots before we anchored in God’s Pocket. Yet that is really what they named it.
Day 64: Stopped for the morning near Nwakato Rapids- these are one of the fastest tidal flows in the world. Bushwhaked along a trail to a viewing platform where we watch the flow from above. Arrrived in Fury Cove, but are disappointed by the plethora of powerboats. However, the sunset was spectacular.
Day 65: At the Hakia Beach Institute, borrowing their wifi. We can’t quite figure out what goes on here, but the beaches are gorgeous.
A dry morning and a perfect stern tie at the falls in Teakerne Arm. Last night a wicked squall came through, we had white caps breaking on our hull! Not only did we have to watch our anchor, Asunto got a pressure wash!
