July 7th am. Still in Winter Harbor this morning at 9am. Great to sleep in for a change. Today’s challenge is ‘rounding the Brooks’.
The Brooks Peninsula looks as if God, at the last moment, stuck a domino into the otherwise fractured coast of Vancouver Island. It’s a nearly square 10 mile long, 5 mile wide hunk of land that juts out into the Pacific. We’ve got to sail out and around it. Our plan is to sail to the Bunsby Islands where we hope to see more sea otters.
We probably will be out of touch for at least a day. There’s nothing around the Bunsby’s then we’re aiming for Dixie cove – another little inlet with no civilization around. We’re going from marginal toe hold on commerce (Winter Harbor) to true coastal wilderness.
That’s it for now….
