Squalls in Paradise?!?

Our second day of Women's Week started out with torrential down pour! How could that be, we are at the Bitter End YC? Well, luckily down here, a squall only lasts for 20 minutes, but boy does it rain! However, it didn't stop our group of Women attending Women's Week.

We boarded the Leopard 45 JET STREAM for a great trip to the Baths. The swells were building, so like any great sailing trip we detected that getting into the Baths was going to be a little rough, so we made a course change and picked up a mooring at the Dogs. We went for an incredible snorkle with Yellowtail fish swimming right up to the swim platform on the catamaran! Half of us ventured off to the coral area closer to shore and saw fantastic schools of Angel fish and the most beatiful little lavendar fish, plus lots more!

On our sail back to North Sounds, we learned about the points of sail using a sesame cracker as our hull and tortilla chips as our sails! We learned about a triangle race course, using a candy cane and some butterscotch candies! When I could not find the windward mark, I discovered one of our guest had decided to consume it! It is all an adventure with Martha and Women's Week! Or at least we eat well! Cheers until tomorrow! - Martha Parker
