We set sail from Joe’s Sound on Saturday morning for Thompson Bay to wait out a little weather and stock up on groceries before we head for the more remote Conception Island.
Navigating out of the narrow and rocky entrance of Joe’s Sound was just as nerve racking as getting in but it went smoothly and we enjoyed a smooth sail back to Thompson Bay. Once there, we spent the weekend:
- Stocking up on fresh produce and hard to come by all natural tortilla chips (it’s the little things in life that are so big out here)
- Enjoying being reconnected with our friends aboard “Storyville” (were so excited to see their familiar hull in the anchorage as we returned from the grocery store)
- Attending church service at the Assembly of God, where the pastor gave a powerful message on the church’s need to speak the truth
- Sharing FC Elevate Family kids resources with the Sunday School teacher who will hopefully use them in her classes and with the local missionary family
- Meeting a missionary family from Maritime Ministries who sailed to Long Island and who now live on there with their two young daughters spreading the Word of God
- Relaxing aboard “Kaleo” reading, lounging, and studying charts of our next destinations
We plan to pull up our anchor on Monday to head for Conception Island with “Morning Glory“.
