Is that how the saying goes? 😅 We wanted to get some distance in today with the aim of getting towards Ucluelet in a weeks time. The forecast made promises of northerly winds… they were southerly?! So we headed away from land and tacked in towards the Yellow Bluff Bay until there was zero wind so we had to motor the last hour or so! We saw ANOTHER whale! This time he kept his distance, on his path. The beautiful humpback sprayed which alerted us to him and we made sure we didn’t cross his path as he went on his way! Another beautiful anchorage tonight- we pal. On staying here a couple of nights to explore the beaches and then catch the forecasted wind further down the west coast Vancouver Island.
