Wednesday, July 31 - Bear Drop to Turnbull Island
about 8 1/2 miles west
Clear, sunny, no wind day.
Snugged into a cove near where Waterbed beached for a secure
night of stormy weather. To our delight an eagle was spotted returning
to its nest directly in our view. A hare bell wild flower was found
on shore, and a spider took up residence in Zephyr’s wind
vane. So many insects on this trip, an entomologist’s delight.
Thursday, August 1 - Today's goal was the cove on Dewdney
Island
The goal was changed, as we
were warned by a man with his golden retriever who motored over to tell
us about 35 mile an hour winds and an approaching storm which did much
damage in Sudbury . We all sailed to W 82°45', N 46°09', the SW
corner of a long inner island (Turnbull Island), and either beached or anchored
out. A muskrat bypassed Zephyr this trip, and Dovekie
sailors Larry and Richard had chicken pot pie in the dry warmth of Zephyr’s
cabin. After returning to Heron, Richard Cullison saw a brief water
spout. During a lull in the storm, was that a loon or Richard on
his Native American flute?
