Another rocky night anchored in the deeper waters of Port Renfrew. After onshore breakfast and departing hugs from the camping crew, we lifted anchor and headed back out to sea. The Juan de Fuca Strait down to Sooke was the day’s journey, and according to the weather forecast we were expecting a windy trip. No such luck, which meant the water was flat, but there was not enough wind to hoist a sail.
We got to Sooke at about dinner time, then cruised around the harbour for a while before we chose a place to drop anchor and watch the beautiful sunset. We spent about an hour or so trying to lasso a line around a piling so we could tie up for free, but gave up after a series of unsuccessful attempts. The calm waters in this harbour will influence our sleep tonight. And tomorrow, we head for the capital city.
