Jane's log:

"Left Ocean Falls in light rain.  Despite a debris watch, we hit our first log today.

"Even though the winds were light we set the jib and decided to drift up Dean Channel.  Took the opportunity to play with the spinnaker pole, and although the outboard fitting was broken, we managed to rig it.

"Ian lost a hat overboard: time to practice our man overboard drill.  Not too impressive: eventually we retrieved it in the dinghy!!

"We stopped off at Mackenzie Park but decided not to go ashore due to rain.   The sun finally came out for a grand entrance into Eucott Bay.

"Great dip in the hot springs before the blue sky disappeared.  We were about to leave because the water was only lukewarm before I realised that someone had cut off the hot water flow: lucky!!

"Spotted a large black bear on the beach, heading for the hot springs when we came back aboard.

"We, the seals, another black bear, and an ospray sat down for dinner around 8:00.

"Eagles (including a very large one), ravens, geese and gulls joined us for breakfast."
