Captains Comments:
We set off from our tranquil anchorage of Laura cove late morning.

Our first stop was to retrieve our prawn traps from the unyielding sea. (Well ...at least not very yielding to date). To our surprise we caught a few more than yesterday, which will make for a very nice addition to the Admirals homemade clam chowder.

We spent about 4 hours going 7 knots on very calm waters to various spots in Lewis Channel.

The time went so fast. We were so relaxed and at peace with our environment.

On our final leg of the day to Refuge Cove, we picked a “secret spot” off Cortez Island and lowered freshly baited prawn traps... let’s see how yielding the sea is over there...

We arrived in the quaint little Cove of Refuge.
