Upper Mount Cove to Tuffin Island - day 39

We woke up at our anchorage in Upper Mount Cove to quite a bit of fog. Thankfully it cleared up for the most part by the time we wanted to leave, and so didn't pose any problems for us.

The wind was dead calm so we motored out of the channel we were anchored up in, and then down the coast. We had a couple places to stop in mind, but because the weather was calm we decided on a small anchorage at Tuffin Island. This is way out from the mainland, but has the benefit of not adding extra miles in and out of the anchorage as it's more or less directly on the way down the coast. No wind at all so just motored the entire way today.

The anchorage was really quite beautiful and isolated. Lots of seal noises off in the distance, and the faint sound of a fog bell from a buoy on the far side of the island. We rowed ashore to check things out for a bit, and then went back to the boat to make i dinner.

In the evening we found again the bio-luminescent algae and so went for a paddle around the anchorage in the dead calm night just to experience it. It was pretty magical with the full milky way of stars in the sky, and then the glittery algae as we paddled around. Kind of amazing how the cosmos resembles the tiny algae at such massively different scales.

Got to bed early for more voyaging tomorrow.
