July 14


Salmon-silver to aqua -green seas keep our boat home afloat. Water color varies from passage to passage, cove to cove.  We had a perfect day, motoring then sailing, blue sky sun, cotton puff cumulous, misty rain, all of it such a drama.  

We discovered Dunn Passage and followed it into Weinburg Bay on the west coast of Campania Island, another world of myriad tiny islets, so much so, we became disoriented when exploring in our dingy.  We anchored at the head in blue water amid waterfowl and peacefulness.  Peering over the edge of Allusion, I noticed a curious jellyfish approach, then gracefully dance along the starboard side seeking passage around us.  

Later, crab pot baited and set, Tim took off outside to fish.  A few hooked, none caught, however a close encounter with a whale made it worthwhile.

Crab dinner on deck,  the guitar retrieved, Tim practiced for a while, a game of Farkle, then exhaustion takes over.   9:00 PM it’s still bright but the colors are already gathering in the west.


Awaking a few hours later, a bewitching reflection motivated me to capture the glory of the sun and clouds, crimson and magenta.  “Red sky at night, Sailors’ delight.”

Didn't notice my reflection in the top of the jellyfish till later
