Ecliptic

Looking back towards Bowen

These things are HUGE

Lovely sparkles on the water

Heeling over hard

Cargo ship suddenly appeared on the horizon

Another comfortable heel

Susan at the tiller

Very comfortable angle of heel

Heeling over so much that at times the rail was in the water

Wonderful clouds over the North Shore Mountains

Little boats flying their spinnakers and moving fast

Looking north of Bowen ... no wind in sight, but the clouds look wonderful

Okay ... now you can see the repair

Can you see the repair?

Looking down the Collingwood Channel to Hutt Island

Valencia heeling the boat

Waves coming off the bow as we heel past 30 degrees

Valencia in charge of the boat

Leaving Bowen Island and heading up Howe Sound

The Disney Wonder leaving Vancouver and heading up to Alaska ... very big even compared to the ferries

Mount Baker in the haze

Tug hard at work

Vancouver off in the distance

Looking back to the cockpit ... getting used to having no one steering

Looking back to Bowen Island

Proudly Canadian

Starting to get wet

The jib got pretty wet after the waves that were coming over the wave

The waves are going past really fast

35 degrees of heel is about the time when I put down the camera and start concentrating sailing the boat
