| Approaching Viner Sound |
I finished a letter I was writing just in time for the
seaplane to whisk it away. It’ll probably take ages to arrive, but I enjoyed
the feeling of making the once-a-week pickup. Another dead calm day, perfect
for our shortest move of the cruise, 4 ½ miles to Viner Sound. Someone had put
out 4 buoys there. Colene and I set the, so far unlucky, crab trap next to a
slew of commercial crabber pots that seemed untended based on the amount of
weed on their lines.

Viner Sound from us

We were napping when a loud knocking on the hull awakened
us. Lo and behold, it was Bill and Kathi Cuffel in their dinghy. Their boat
Jarana now occupied a nearby buoy. The water in our tiny cove was a bit scummy
and the sun hot, but their location had a gentle breeze. After a little
visiting we were on our way for the first swim of the trip, a wonderful couple
of laps around Jarana. Later, Later our friends the Werners aboard Shatzi joined the
fleet. We all mobbed the Jarana dinner club for BBQ lamb. Lovely.
