Captain / Admiral’s report:

The pictures tell of our awesome trip to Tribune Bay. Justavacation broke off from the other two boats to make a short sojourn to Mitlenatch Island, which is a bird sanctuary.

The weather and the water were perfect for cruising today.

This evening as we arrived at Tribune Bay, the wind has come up out of the NW 15, the boats are rocking and the waves are slapping the sides of the boats. Maresia has her ground tackle out, but it may not be enough for the three boats to ride out the night, so we have decided to break off and set our own anchor for the night.

Our plan is to leave earlier than the others tomorrow morning. We know what lies ahead!!! The big 4 hour Clean!!!

This is our last night of the trip.

We have enjoyed our selves immensely and have learned a lot about travelling with another couple.

We have had some great experiences! We have shared light hearted and serious moments with each other. We have even shared some very personal moments as we experience the almost spiritual environment we are so lucky to be immersed in.

This captain has once again been the pupil! When it comes to gleaning the subtle nuances of running a boat; Captain Tom and Captain Pat have many years of experience they have vicariously and unknowingly shared to this novice Captain. Thank you “Gentlemen”!
