Going with the tide, we set all our sails and headed out of Powell River for a straight run to Savary Island. As we approached the island, the wind died and so we had to motor in to the north side to our anchorage. At first sight we thought it was very busy but we anchors at the further end next to the reef where majority of the boats were stored, not necessarily occupied. Taking our dinghy to the dock, we hiked up to go down the trail to South beach which was just perfect! The community there seems chill and we had a great time exploring the beaches. Theres also a restaurant and village store not too far of a walk from the government dock. Overnight, the water was like a pond with a beautiful peaceful sunrise whilst the seal and sea life swam past us during our morning coffee. There is a ref here and we managed to risk it and anchor right next tot he drop of the reed- at low tide we kept an eye on it! Beautiful spot and was a great sail!
