Sea stacks at the end of the Wouwer Island hike
This is our last night in the Broken Group, the last night in Barkley Sound. It has been a memorable couple of weeks. Memorable for the scenery, the remoteness, the fair weather, and the friendship.
We’re in Effingham Bay for our final night. The crew is busy on deck readying the inflatable armada. We have five inflatable vessels for four people. Granted that includes one we hope never to have to use. Still, it felt a little excessive this afternoon while going to shore in formation. Three of us on paddle boards, one in the dinghy.
Effingham Bay is large. There’s
swinging room for twenty or more boats. There’s a nice, well marked, (relatively) well groomed (primitive) trail on the island. The trail head is at the head of the bay.
MaryLou made yummy soup for dinner tonight, another excellent Instant Pot recipe that cooks up well in a pressure cooker. Kay is baking cookies. 😋
We’ll get an early start tomorrow. The earlier the better if the tide tables are accurate. Earlier is normally smoother as well. We’re likely to see 10 kt headwinds early, then calm in the middle of the day, and finally a 10 kt tail wind to push us into Port San Juan. Which is to say the day should get easier as it proceeds.
