Montague Harbour, we: had about 300 feet of
chain to bring in. The new anchor winch, while
powerful, was very slow, and it was 90 degrees
fahrenheit in the cockpit. The morning sun was
_very-hot. By the time the anchor was up and.
stowed the battery was almost flat, and I was glad

blew up the inflatable

dinghy, put the motor on it,
and went around into Winter

Cove. This large but shallow ~

bay empties into the Gulf of
Georgia.

and debris being sucked

through the small pass, and
stayed well clear of it with

another dinghy with a ‘better

back into Winter Cove. °

Mount Baker made a’
white backdrop to the scene. .

The bay. supports a lot of

life. We saw lots of birds,

In the- evening we sat in |
the cockpit and had a round -
of Spanish coffees and a

good talk: The eight-year- . §

old was asleep very late, by
eleyen, but the three-year-
old inexplicably was bright
eyed and bushy tailed at
midnight.

The evening was very
calm, the sea placid: there
were many stars — the Milky
Way was clear and distinct,
and we talked about the
mystery of it all.

A log ‘salvage boat picked
its way by us in the dark,
using the spotlight to pick:
out landmarks. Before we |
went to sleep I used ours to
check our position. The
bright beam of light scared
something large on a distant
rock and it plunged into the
water with a big splash, but I
couldn't see what it was.

Two adults and the eight-

that night, and as I drifted
off to sleep I could stil! hear
them talking.
