We left Desolation Sound and the sunshine and immediately ran into bad weather. We decided to call it a day early and ducked into Grace Harbor for the night. We waited out the weather overnight and headed south in the morning.
It was a full day of driving to make it to Pender Harbor, but we made it. We dropped the hook and settled in, then took the wildcat to shore for some groceries.
At the store we ran into Ingrid, Alden's aunt. She and Dennis were up visiting friends. What luck! We got invited to dinner at the Livingston's island with all their friends. We were treated to lasagna and apple pie. What a delight! Plus we got to meet a whole group of new friends.
On the ride back it was dark and the moon hadn't yet risen. As we motored the wildcat back through the still water our prop churned up bioluminescence, making our wake glow. Little glittery diatoms flashed in our bow wake and down in the water whole schools of small fish darted about at the disturbance of our engine, lighting up like little comets through the water in every direction. It was stunning and such a wonderful little surprise to end the day.
We made eggs Benedict for breakfast the next morning!
