A long but beautiful day, part motor part sailing! Leaving just outside of east sooke regional park in time for the tide to take us, and picking it up again as we came out into the open. As newbies to sailing, this gave us a good opportunity to learn the ropes and for the first time got out all our sails! (We have a ketch). Great day also to test our navigation through the shipping lanes and seeing the beautiful Coho ferry on its way to Port Angeles from Victoria. Our anchorage was peaceful and beautiful- but rollers all night and we have no idea where they came from. We didn’t have time for a hike but the island is meant to have some great trails!
