Captains Comments:
The trip to Secret Cove took approximately 2.5 hours of travel time.
Average Speed 22 knots.
The weather at departure was overcast with some sprinkles.
Once out of Burrard Inlet and departing the Wet Coast, the clouds started to break up with a promise of brighter days ahead.
During the cruise, we were witness to a May Day distress call. A ship called Alice B was taking on water and their bilge pumps were already not keeping up with the incoming water. The Alice B was in imminent danger of sinking. The Coast Guard and other private boats responded to the MAY DAY. We don’t know the final demise of the Alice B.
Pat Swain met us at the marina and escorted us to their humble "Palace by the Sea". We enjoyed some delightful seafood “Cuisine by Claudine”...
We very much appreciated their kind “Southern Alberta” aka Sunshine Coast hospitality. Thanks Claudine and Pat for a great end to our first day at Sea.
