There
was somewhat of an exodus out of Princess Louisa this morning. We
followed 4 sailboats and 1 old wooden boat. We were the last and exited
Malibu Rapids 20 minutes after low water slack. No problem with the
current. It is a beautiful sunny day and we were looking forward to an
uneventful trip back down to Malaspina Straight. At the junction of
Queen’s Reach and Princess Royal Reach Fred said he spotted some
dolphins. We were thrilled that upon close inspection we were with a
pod of orca whales. Their huge dorsal fin is unmistakable. There
appeared to be 4 or 5 whales with one by far the largest. This is our
first sighting of whales this summer. We encountered up to 23 kts. of
wind going down Jervis Inlet. Just a bit bumpy.
We headed out of
Jervis Inlet and anchored just off of Blind Bay in Hardy Island Marine
Park. We were across from an abandoned quarry. It is actually
picturesque among all the rainforest.
