A few weeks ago our friends Mark and Laurence took us sailing in Resurrection Bay aboard the Radiance, a sloop that they plan to sail across the Pacific and back. After bunking up in port the night before, we set sail under stormy skies at midday. We cruised the bay, watching otters, porpoises and the occasional humpback surface from the green sea. A three hour sail put us in the shelter of Sunny Cove. We lowered the jib and mainsail just before a gail kicked up. From the Radiance's well-appointed galley we watched the heavy rain fall on rows of spruce trees onshore. Anchored in the cove, we enjoyed a tasty meal and were gently rocked into a pleasant sleep. The next day we climbed aboard the dingy and took to shore to comb the beach. Sunny skies made the trip back to port a fine end to a great outing. Thanks M&L!
