S.A.L.T.S. 2025 - Day 2

We awoke to a gorgeous sunny blue sky with fairly calm waters. Forward watch scrubbed the deck before breakfast and then we enjoyed a delicious feast of bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, dill, capers, strawberries and jam. We then had a “point of sail” lesson on deck in the sunshine which was followed by lowering the dories as we got ready to row to the beach. We hiked for about 3 kms and ended up overlooking the ocean and enjoying God’s creation. We weighed anchor after lunch and have now anchored in Irish Bay at Samuel Island for the night. The trainees are completing their charting lesson now before we have dinner and enjoy another terrific evening of games and mug up.

S.A.L.T.S. 2025 - Day 1

We arrived in Victoria after a smooth flight and all luggage arrived with us. We boarded the bus and drove straight to the dock to board the Pacific Grace. After a thorough safety orientation, we sailed out of the Inner Harbour. Soon into our trip we spotted some whales which was exciting. Then we set some of the sails and enjoyed a few hours under sail and we learned how to tie six different knots. We were all thankful for our rain gear as it rained on and off most of the afternoon. We have now anchored in Narvaez Bay on Saturna Island. We will play some games tonight and then have mug up before turning in for a good night’s sleep. Everyone is doing well and having a great time.
