We rode into Princess Louisa Inlet on a sunbeam and rode out in the rain. They predicted the rain, but the weather was so spectacular cruising up the Jervis Inlet, we had a hard time believing that rain was on the way. But rain it did. And does. Two days ago we were out on deck admiring constellations. Tonight we were out getting wet oohing and ahhing at the bioluminescence in the water. If you let your eyes adjust to the light, you can see a flair of luminescence with each raindrop.
Our time in Princess Louisa Inlet was as gratifying as it always is. OK, it rained most of the time, but we didn't let that stop us from doing the hike that takes off from the dock at the head of the inlet. It's a very steep trail that gains 1600' or so in a couple of miles. The signage at the bottom recommends against doing it at all, but we weren't to be denied our workout, wet or not. We straggled back to the boat like drowned rats, feeling much better for the workout after so much time afloat.
Now we're in Dol Boy. Stern tied close to shore and have the place to ourselves. Tomorrow we drop Sam off in Pender Harbour. The weather forecast predicts gale force winds, but we don't have far to go, so hopefully they'll blow through while we're safely tied to the marina in. We're down to the last week!
