Fly away Peter, fly away Paul...come back Mary!!!

While in Tofino Propinquity did another crew change....Deb, told Peter it was time to quit playing and come home and Rick on the other hand wanted Mary to come and play...he was missing her and Sailor!!! So, for those of you who have been following...Propinquity started with Mary, Rick and Sailor, then it was Peter and Paul. Kirk and Mary then arrived and for two days Propinquity had everyone on board...then it was just Peter, Kirk and Rick...now it is Mary, Rick, Kirk and Sailor...I know one needs a crew list tracking sheet to keep track of the comings and goings...

Saturday...gale force winds 30 to 40 knots predicted except light in the morning south of Tofino...do we go or stay...we did not like where we were staying...

Decision...we all decided to send Blue An Teak out to test the waters...are we smart or what!!!!
30 minutes later they reported back winds were about 8 knots and 1 to 2 metre swells...that was enough for Dance Lightly and Silhouette to start their engines. Propinquity had already decided to stay in the  Clayoquot area so, we said our goodbyes and will meet up with them again somewhere in the Broken Islands...

Crab traps everywhere coming out of Tofino...not fun!!!

So, this is what the Wickaninnish looks like from the water...



The Island we walk to from Chesterman beach...


Where did Silhouette go????


Amphitrite Lighthouse...Harvey often wondered as I imagine many have what it would be like to sail around the Lighthouse...now he knows!!!!


Ucluelet feels like home...silhouette and Dance Lightly have tied up to dock while Blue An Teak have anchored out. Anna's son has joined them on board for a what they say will be a three day tour of the Broken Islands. 

For the next few days we will be exploring the Broken Islands...we can hardly wait...

Over and out from "Circle the Rock".
