After spending the night on T2, following our dinner with Kevin and Diane last night, we left for Princess Bay, Portland Island. The wind was light and on our nose from the North. So we motored. Yep, might as well rip the bandage off right away. Sail covers never came off.

Despite that, we had a quick cruise North, past Sidney Spit (about two dozen boats) to Princess Bay. We ended up with 15 boats in the small bay, including some huge power boats. The new mixing elbow worked like a charm. We had minimal water in the bilge and maximum water comin' out the pipe.

I'm still waiting for the recoil spring for Skully's outboard so we brought Trouper II Too, and rowed our way to a better planet. I have to say, I prefer motoring over to Shell beach in Skully, than hiking there. The campground was pretty much full at Shell Beach. I've never seen that before. There were also a couple dozen Kai Yackers camping at Princess Bay.

Returning to the Mother Ship, we enjoyed Bar-B-Que'd ribs for dinner along with grilled zucchini. After, we lit a fire and played a few games of cards before turning in.
