Inside Vancouver Island

An interesting night. After about an hour’s sleep, the wind was getting tea strong and knocking the tent about. It was rolling me back and forth. Not the boat, the tent.

Around midnight we decided to take the tent down and sleep on the deck. A good decision. It was quieter and no need to worry about the tent breaking.

After a few hours sleep we were up and looking at the scenery again. The problem with it coming light and 3am is that you wake up 3am and think it’s time to get up. I can see this being a problem/bonus going forward.

Eventually others started to wake up around us. We had showers, which were nice and warm. Then started trying to remove the remaining duct tape from the deck. Duct tape is very sticky.

After breakfast in the dining room, we sat on deck watching everything pass by. A slow and lazy day, several sea otters 🦦, a few dolphins 🐬 and a humpback 🐋. Maybe some orcas but nothing for sure.

The sun was shining most of the day and I have some rosy red cheeks to prove it. Sun screen tomorrow.Read more
