The days were very foggy in the Broken Group so we decided to make a run for Victoria and the sunshine!! The westerly gale that sets up in the Juan de Fuca Strait should just push us there, at least that is what we thought! It turned out that the two day trip back to civilization was without a breeze and mired in fog the whole day. Ugg. As soon as we rounded Race Rocks 4 miles from Victoria the fog disappeared and a breeze stared up, as if it was waiting for us to arrive via motor. None the less we were happy to be back in the warm so after a fuel up we ventured over to Hidden Harbour Marina where our friend Jim and a slip awaited. From here to Comox we would have a packed social schedule which was wonderful. We had time to visit with so many friends and family. Tilly was loving all the visitors thinking they had all come to see her and she was happy to see the end of all that swell.
Tilly greeting Uma, love at first sight.
The last couple of weeks of our trip went like a blur which results in the blur of a post. Due to all the distraction no pictures were taken and even though we covered a lot of ground this story is condensed into a few lines.
