Yes, it did rain last night. Quite hard. It continued to rain and then sprinkle all morning. So this morning called for fresh baked scones. Thanks to our borrowed cell phone amplifier, we had a pretty good Telus signal in here and so we did a bunch of computer stuff and had way too many scones. At one point, "Carol" from Akeeva can to the dock in the dinghy. We went to say Hello to her as we had met them at Taku Harbor in Alaska as part of the Slowboat convoy. It was good to talk to her and find out how the rest of their trip went, and what they thought of Alaska overall as well.

By 1:00 it was dry with just a bit of overcast clouds and some blue sky peeking through here and there. So we took off for our big walk to Turn Point. This walk is a bit of an "event". When we got back to the boat, my Apple Watch said we had walked 6 miles. Bella had walked much less than that.



Right as we closed up the door on Spellbound to take off, a dingy showed up at the dock. It was Tim from NWE with some of his charterers. They were also on their way to Turn Point. They ended up going to Prevost first and went a different way, so we didn't actually see them until we were leaving Turn Point. We walked the "long" way via the park and then onto the county road. There are a lot of steps in the park.





It was flat and calm off the point and not much going on out there. We didn't see any wildlife at all, and only 1 freighter out in the distance just as we were leaving. It was around 5:30 by the time we got back and we decided that we deserved some beer and cheese on the picnic bench before having dinner. It was not sunny but was pretty mild and generally pleasant out.

Eventually we had some dinner and watched a movie - La La Land. Meh.
