Harmony

 After three very long days, we're finally in for a few that are shorter.  We did twenty miles yesterday and again today.

Yesterday shortly before our departure, who should come rolling into the anchorage, but  Harmony. She was arriving at anchor just as we were contemplating our departure.

Out came the binoculars. How could we not take a look at boat and crew. As it turns out, no crew. Nice boat: mid forties, double-ender, as boats with tapered bow and stern are known. 

It was a lovely sunny morning as we readied to leave. Eventually a woman  came up on Harmony's deck wearing a long yellow sun dress flowing in the wind.  It was like she was in a movie. After working her way around Cape Caution alone, a girl just wants to feel pretty I guess.   

Under way again, the winds were from the south to start, so we unfurled our sails and enjoyed the sound of waves slapping the hull, rather than the sound of the engine droning. Eventually the wind petered out. We put the sails away and motored into the night's anchorage. 

Now two days later, we found a short hike yesterday in an anchorage called Codville Lagoon. The exercise was wonderful. Between anchoring and rowing to shore, we baked a peach upside-down cake. We already eaten the canned pineapple.  It was awesome. We'll have to do it again on the way home.

We're headed for Shearwater today. It's raining. We're getting a slow start. It'll be nice  to shower.
