Here's one...
I was up on(offshore of) Vancouver Island with a great friend Don. We were sailing his 28'er named "Happiness is". That particular morning we left from the southern tip of the island at a place called The Sydney Spit. As we headed north along the Eastern(inside) shore, we encountered fog. Coming to a Ferry crossing, Man those ships are big, we decided to do doughnuts(circles) and wait it out. Then we came close to shore and saw a private dock, tied up and had bacon and eggs for breakfast. We could hear the ferries, but with the echoes couldn't tell exactly where they were. The fog cleared from the North and when we could make out the silhouettes we took off and discovered that there was another ten or so boats out there waiting also. Beautiful sailing ensued and saw lots of Sea Lions and one cliffside that had over 150 Bald Eagles, too cool! Later that day we anchored at Decorsey Island in Pirates Cove and went hiking.
Okay that's the first story. Please share yours.
