This is our little flotilla. – A group of small boats moving together.

When you’re in a group, you have ‘help’. You have another set of resources, of local knowledge, of tools, of ideas. You have towing capabilities if you should need that.

It’s very wise to have a buddy when you’re out here, especially doing things for the first time.

Thankful for their invite.

I think we’ll take them up on their offer to cross Cape Caution with them on Tuesday.

That’s a big deal, because it involves going off-shore. No protection. ‘Open’ ocean. Badass-ery.

Today’s destination: Waddington Bay, in the rain and through the fog.
