The wind calmed overnight, the anchor held and we slept in!

We dinghied over and picked Diana and Gilbert up. Jorge rowed us to the marina where we had a picnic lunch and stretched out legs. Diana and I powered walked for a full 20 minutes in rural . . . well I'm not sure what the area is called, maybe Prinyer Point. The guys visited with another CS36 owner in the marina.

Jorge rowed us back to the boats. Boy if this keeps up, he is going to be either buff or dead. :) We (but I use that term loosely) secured the dinghy, tightened the straps holding the mast, checked engine fluid levels, checked fan belts, etc. before tomorrow's departure. The weather window is still looking good for leaving at 0500.

We also used the generator for the first time today to top up the batteries.

After dinner a couple rowed over to our boat and chatted about our upcoming trip. They used to work 6 months here and then sail for 6 months in the Caribbean for a number of years, now they just sail here in Canada. They said it was wonderful and wished they were younger to be able to do it again!

I just poked my head out of the boat to listen to an owl hooting in the woods close to the boat. He was hooting last night as well. The cove water is like a millpond, so quiet, so peaceful, so beautiful! However Jorge was just chased inside by the mosquitoes while putting up the radar reflector (we have our first shipping lines to cross tomorrow).

This might be the last blog for a couple of days as we are cancelling our Canadian phone/data package and will be picking up a new one state-side. Not sure how or when things will resume but as Arnold once said "I'll be back." Stay tuned . . .
