On the high seas 5 miles off the coast live radio was made by Radio Seabreeze on the lightship Jenni Baynton for about 2 weeks.
During my first day, the winds were offshore the whole day, keeping the ocean glassy and the waves hollow. Sadly, the rest of the trip was strong onshore winds and mainly crumbly waves.
Gefährten im Wind? Gefährten füreinander? Wer weiß das schon?
Companions in sailing downwind? Companions for each other? Who knows?
The north end of Quadra Island as seen from Tyee Spit in Campbell River, BC.
"From one end to the other, Quadra Island measure 37 km (23 miles) as the eagle flies. Its wide northern end, rising up in rocky bluffs and mountainous peaks, is short on roads and population, but to make up for that it has a scattering of lovely lakes and a sprawl of hiking trails. Some areas here still are old growth, but almost all of the island's forests are second growth dating from the late [19th] to the early [20th] century. As yet the island is still largely forested, but clearcut logging marches on--sometimes too close for comfort.
"The island's contours seem to have been largely cut out with a fretsaw, creating an abundance of bays, coves, harbours and headlands along its ragged coast, with the leftover bits flung aside to form offshore islands...all along with Quadra itself, part of the Discovery Islands of the east coast of Vancouver Island. Beaches are few--mostly pebbly--and all of them surrender to a full moon's high tide."
