Today was a laid-back day filled with relaxing, enjoying the beautiful atmosphere, and doing as we please. The entire fleet had a pleasurable morning to sleep in, as two of the boats departed at 10:30am, while the remaining two stayed at the local, Lisianski Café, to watch the final World Cup game.
We cruised through Lisianski Strait and through a corner of Icy Strait to reach our evening’s destination of Elfin Cove. This is a trip through classic fjords with tall, tree covered mountains on either side – covered mysteriously with clouds on this day.
By the time all the boats met up once again in Elfin Cove, the rain had faded out and the sun had burned through the clouds. Some of us stayed inside, taking advantage of the chance to sit down and talk or read, while others walked along the old boardwalk surrounding this unique little town. Massive Sitka Spruce surrounds the town, and the cute houses, meandering board walks, and friendly people create a charming ambience, forming a welcoming vibe throughout the cove.
We all prepared for the night as the darkness began to settle in and the eagles circled above. The boats rested on the still water as we drifted off, waiting for another exciting day in Elfin Cove to come tomorrow.
