Day 2 of the Van Isle Circumnavigation

June 21, 2011 Posted by Julie Vancouver Island Circumnavigation

Colin rowed 88 km today and has almost made it to Telegraph Cove.He left early in the morning, once again at 4 am, and rowed for 12 hours. He told me the scenery is stunning and his campsite, just past Robson Bight, is luxurious, especially compared to last night.

His tent is pitched on a platform in the trees, probably a spot used by kayak excursions. Last night there wasn’t much room to camp and he had to move his tent during the night for fear of getting wet.

Besides being a lot of work, things are going well. The winds were fairly light today but the forecast has a wind warning in effect for tonight and tomorrow, and unfortunately they’re headwinds.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  I read the messages to Colin over the satellite phone and he was happy to hear them.
