New Developments

Just sailed back to Pender Island and anchored at Otter Bay last night. We sailed out from Ganges Harbour due to an infestation by giant reptiles which were stalking and eating the small sailing vessels and tugboats there. We had a favorable wind all the way to pender, wind was about 10 knots from the NW and we went wing on wing for the 2nd leg.

Our auto pilot is busted so i was on manual tiller the whole way and single handed for the most part, as Kathryn, a.k.a. Admiral Nimetz, had a snooze and made tea and such while i sailed her over.

It Was a golden rose colored sunset. Did not use the engine coming into Otter bay...sailed right in and dropped anchor in 20 feet of water. Put out 130 feet of chain and had spare anchor ready to go due to a weather watch for high winds. Lot's of fetch where we are right now, althogh convenient for the morning, not the wisest choice of anchorage really.

That's all for now...it's starting to get light out and it's overcast.

Oh yes..one more thing...i'm booked into a really good recording studio on Salt Spring Island for this Tuesday. I'm really really excited about it:-)) Daryl Chonka is going to enginneer the recordings for me which is great!!! His work is world class so once again i'm so stoked about it!!!
