Although we were perfectly happy to stay where we were another day, we decided to continue our journey and explore more of West Clayoquot Sound. Both of our guides, The Wagoneer & Dreamspeaker Guides to Vancouver Island, recommended a few places between here and Tofino, our next major stop. Today we decided to head for Young Bay, only about 5 nautical miles or so from where we were. That would take us about an hour if we motored, but the winds were at our back and so we hoisted both sails. The sun had returned, and we enjoyed our short trip up Sydney Inlet to the first bay on the east side. We found solitude again, and spent the afternoon puttering around in the dinghy. 2 lovely creek beds trickle into the bay. The remains from a long-time-ago abandoned building was crumbling into ruins onshore, its machinery laying encrusted in barnacles at the water’s edge. Once we were back on the boat, we ate dinner and watched the sunset from beach chairs on the bow. Then another round of well earned rations and a deep sleep for the crew.
