A long run north...

Well, not up past the coal docks, but across Georgia Strait again today.  Honestly, these whales need to figure out a place they like and then stay there for a while! ;-)  We had them to ourselves for a while, and then were joined later by only one other US boat.  The whales were plentiful and active.  The guests were delighted.  The weather was beautiful and the water was flat.  I know that people think I'm kidding when I say it is never the same thing twice... we were across the Strait, northeast from Sucia - first time I've been in that area.  J and K Pods, breaches, spy hops, and tail-lobs, oh my!  We were about a half hour late getting back because of the distance we ran, but we were back in plenty of time for our sea plane guests.

My Honey opened the place today and then had to cover for one of the other staff who pulled something in her back... we did get to take an hour for a nice supper out before she had to go back in for an hour and close the place.  It was a long day for her today; mine was pretty easy.

If you haven't been there, I highly recommend Echo Bay on Sucia for a couple nice days on a mooring or on the hook. No ameneties to speak of (unless an outhouse is an amenity) but great views in a beautiful place.

If you stay there, try to get fairly close to the beach and avoid the 3 mooring balls on the right side of the bay (opposite side from the linear mooring system.) They're in the current and we woke up a couple of nights with the boat rocking crazily - we were crosswise to the waves as the tide and breeze were opposed.
