We had a 6:30 a.m. start for our final stretch home. We picked up our crab traps. In the first one, we got three keeper crabs and a sun star. In the second trap, we got a whole family of sun stars (Grandpa size.) This was a beautiful morning with little wind to sail. Throughout our trip home, we had to motor a lot as there was not enough wind. When there was some wind, we pulled out the sails and motor sailed. We fished a little over an hour around Humpback Bay where we caught a salmon on our first day down but this time we did not have any luck. The wind started to pick up and we set sail for home. For most of the way, we were on a port tack. It was very nice to be sailing after all the motoring that we had done coming home. We were happy to be home.
In some ways, we were also sad that our trip had come to an end. There were so many places we wanted to go to but had not had a chance to explore. We never had the time to really stop in one area and explore for a few days. It is hard to believe that with 58 days of travel, we ran out of time, but that means there will be more to see next time.
It was one of the best summers ever!
