On to Ucluelet

N 48 57.138, W 125 33.433
Ucluelet, Vancouver Island

This morning we stopped at the fuel dock, filled up the tanks and jerry jugs, took on water and dropped off our garbage. We were out of chocolate which is very worrisome. We had even eaten all of the chocolate chips on the boat. So I picked up 2 Bounty Bars to tide us over until we can get to a grocery store in Ucluelet.

We saw at least 4 whales today. The whale watching boats were out as well. At one point we saw a whale near the boats bring his head up and do a small broach. The tourists got a show.

We are now anchored in the harbor near the marina. Tomorrow we hope to get a slip in the marina so we can do laundry, provision, check the internet, etc.

Ucluelet is a lot bigger than I remember when we visited here with Jesse and Sarah on Fairwind. Now there are homes on both sides of the harbor and we saw resorts/condominiums/homes along the coast. Tomorrow we will see what the town is like.

No worries,
SV Windarra
