We're off again... this time an overnight trip to Plumper Cove.
Flying only the foresail, we're off. The winds were moderate, coming from the south, this means that there will be little to none going up Howe sound, until Collingwood Channel, as we will be in the lee of Bowen Island.
The map below shows the route of sail... black line shows going out and the red line shows coming home.

| my slip is on the right... Horseshoe bay, sailing to the left to Plumper Cove, located on Keats Island |
We stopped by Hutt Island for a coffee break.
 |
| Making a bite to eat :) |
We arrived at Plumper Cove Marine Park, to find almost the entire wharf empty. We had our pick of location. :)
the weather was perfect... not too hot or too cold.
Caroline and Hank took out the folding chairs, and sat on the dock, drink in hand, watching the world sail by.
ready for another great day at Plumper Cove.
 |
| Here is me... at rest |
 |
| Just me a little peanut shell. |
 |
| There were a few kayakers here as well. |
 |
| Near the end of July and no one here?? |

Caroline woke up the next day, not feeling too well. The one draw back from this dock, as it is effected by the wave action from the by-passing vehicles... a rocky stay. Caroline is a camper or marina girl. :)
The next day, we left fairly early in the morning, bound for Elliott Bay, our yacht club outstation.. for lunch.

| Caroline at the helm, most of the way over to Elliott Bay! :) |

On the way home, we passed a very large yacht... only 250 Million!!
A rare site in Howe Sound...
Well that ended out overnight outing... Now resting at home, waiting for my next adventure.
I understand that I will be taking Alfred Barr out next month. :)
Till then...
Tarka out!
