Ecincik to Kapi Creek
After rather a lumpy
night at anchor, we set off for Kapi Creek. The wind had blown up in the night,
and continued to blow 5-6, which meant we had a really good sail for the first
few hours, stonking along at 7+ knots under a reefed main and partly furled
yankee. James enjoyed taking the helm - this kind of speed is more to his
taste!

helm - note Tom taking a turn on the after deck!
When the wind
dropped, we shook the reef out of the main and switched to the genoa, but after
an hour or so, it dropped even further. We tried the cruising chute for a
while,
Making the most
of 4 knots of wind with the cruising chute!
but eventually even that couldn't make us move, so we
resorted to the engine. We arrived in Kapi Creek in time for a swim to
cool off.
Tom couldn't
quite decide whether to swim or not!
That evening we
dined at the water's edge, with the most beautiful view...
