We sit in Winter Harbor, on the north coast of Vancouver Island, waiting out a gale and preparing to head south to Port Townsend in a couple days. Here are some pics of our voyage so far.
Our closest Orca approach -- about 1/2 mile.
Being chased by a large sea lion. We suspect the thing thought we were trolling for salmon.
It would roll over and give us the stink eye.

Sea Otters like Winter Harbor. This one hunts off the docks, cracking mussels on it's chest.

Beach combing in Tate Cove was productive. This urchin was bigger than a softball.

The fierce eagles of Prince Rupert.

And a Kiingfisher for my friend Trevor.

We love wildlife, just not the buggy kind. Fortunately, I had saved some teak strips and screens in deep stores. I was able to build this while at anchor in Tate Cove.

| Brigadoon, ready to head out on our last leg south to Port Townsend |
We expect to be in Port Townsend within the week. Our first offshore, at night, in roller-coaster, two meter swells, was pretty exciting. It's amazing the stuff that is thrown around in Brigadoon. We will spend Friday securing everything, including the wandering 60lb sewing machine, before we leave.

well done !
