It was 58 this morning & foggy (marine layer) which has been slowly lifting. Our 2nd movie last night was Catch & Release with Jennifer Garner - another good chick flick.
Our animal/bird sightings here included herons, seagulls, seals & a bear...no eagles & no seals sunning on the rocks. Still an amazing anchorage & one we'll most likely come back to again. We left at noon to head to Waddington Bay by Bonwick Island. We had to get out of the cove a bit in order to get the seaweed/kelp off the anchor. The fog didn't clear until around 11:00.
Got to Waddington at 1:00 - there eventually were 9 other boats here, 4 sail & 5 power. Much different than where we were the past couple of anchorages. It is a very protected anchorage - water is flat calm. 2 fishing boats from 2 of the anchored boats came back around 3:30 while we were finally enjoying the flybridge!!! It eventually got to 73, with little wind. Perfect for the lido deck. Saw 2 ladies out kayaking this afternoon & one from Carousel (smaller power boat) swung by & invited us over for drinks at 6pm with her fellow kayaker off one of the sailboats. We thought it would be fun to meet some new people so down came our dinghy. We'll take our drinks & some smoked salmon.
We had a great conversation on the Carousel. Turns out Denise is single handling her boat (I think its a 37' Meridien). She always goes with a least one other boat & is with the sailboat on this trip. She boated with her husband who passed away in 2000. She loved boating & wanted to continue so has worked her way up to the boat she has now. Both boats are Canadian & they keep their boats in Blaine. I think they're going to come over tomorrow to see our boat. It was interesting comparing stories about the various places up here. denice has been out since 6/30 too.
Tonight's movie is another Sandra Bullock with Ben Affleck, Forces of Nature.
