Pipestem Inlet

On Tuesday we had a great sail to Pipestem Inlet. We anchored in this tranquil, gorgeous little cove. We took off to see the falls at Lucky Creek and have a rainy picnic there.

then. Laura and Rocky took off in their kayaks and we ran around in the dinghy to explore. We saw more beautiful falls and steep mountain peaks.

The 3 other sailboats that we hoped to hook up with found us later in the day and we had happy hour together and shared crossing stories.

The next day we were in no rush to leave so Jeff took over an old fishing shack to work on the planks for Hot Springs Cove . It worked great and he also did boards for the other boats.

After the boards were done, we headed to Mence Island. The weather improved and the clouds disappeared A tranquil and spectacular. After beach combing and exploring we checked the crab pot and we caught one! It was a crab feast for Jeff, Laura, Rocky and Colonel! An incredible sunset topped a perfect day!

  1. Envious! Still on the hard. Prop was bent, so is shaft. both in the shop. Get them back on Monday, maybe back together by Tuesday and back in the water by Wednesday, keep my fingers crossed they can straighten the shaft. It came out real easy, hope the rest goes that quick. Bottom is painted. OF course the weather is perfect, for boating not fixing.
