Monday, July 29th - Spanish Marina to Coursol Bay
Sailing west up Whale’s Back Channel,
Carpe Diem opted to leave the group and remain near Spanish
to explore the nearby islands.
Seven boats continued to the
snug Bay of Coursol with a friendly wind from the East. New comer
Larry Knowles in Guenter Arlt’s Sundowner fared well in his
initial sail. Learning Dovekie trim engaged him so much he added the second
week to his schedule.
Tuesday, July 30th - Coursol with goal of hideaway on
the North shore of Dewdney Island
With winds SWS, the group
sailed West. Zephyr stayed behind until Sundowner
rigged sails. Other boats were soon out of sight but were located
by radio at a lunch and swim break off Muloch Island. Passing flocks of
gulls with gray juveniles calling “please please please” begging for food,
Zephyr chased Sundowner
to change directions and followed the group to raft for the evening at Bear
Drop .
