Day two in the Broken Group. It was nice not to have to go far; nicer still to have blue skies and calm for our one hour passage from Effingham Bay to Joe’s Cove. We arrived to find both coves empty of boats, but yesterday several others joined us by early evening. I’m guessing the same will happen here. It is early yet.
The wind is supposed to pick up this afternoon, so it was nice to make our move while the gettin’ was good.
Vi is on bear watch, glassing every so often while she reads her book. You can’t see ‘em if you don’t look is her motto.
A gaggle of kayakers came through shortly after we arrived, all chatty and in no hurry. They didn’t look kitted out for overnight, so they must be on a one day paddle out of Bamfield or Ucluelet. Ucluelet is at the north end of Barkley Sound. We didn’t stop on our way south from Tofino, but I have been to Bamfield when several friends and I hiked the West Coast Trail from Port Renfrew. Our paper chart of this area actually has the trail marked. It was originally built to give shipwrecked sailors a path back to civilization. I wonder how many of them it has actually saved.
