In Shearwater we had the pleasure of meeting Roly Brown, KE0TI, who we have been enjoying on the Great Northern Boaters' Net. Everything he shared with us, we found fascinating! As we left Shearwater, the day was shaping up to be a first class summer day, with sunshine, blue skies, and calm winds to W15 which we were able to take advantage with for awhile. 8 Humpback Whales showed themselves as we were going along on Fitz Hugh Sound. As we were sailing, one of them came within 20 yards of the boat which is always a thrill. Tonight we are in Frying Pan Bay which we will leave from tomorrow to reach Port McNeil on Vancouver Island.
