day 2 - Thormanby Island to Copeland Islands (Lo50°00.0’L124°48.0’)
We awoke in Buccaneer Bay to clouds. But they soon burned off as we set sail for Savary Island. With a rare SouthEast wind at our stern, we hoisted both the jib and the mainsail for the first time this trip. An average of about 5 knots over 40 nautical miles brought us to the beautiful white-sand shores of Savary Island at about dinner time. After throwing down the anchor, we made contact with friends on shore who advised us against anchoring where we were overnight. The more common NorthWest wind would be kicking up to 10-15 knots, enough to blow us onshore. So, up came the anchor and we motored a further hour or so to the serene and desolate Copeland Islands. Sunset found us alone, quiet and protected.
