Pruth Bay Lay Day

After two long travel days, today was blissfully uneventful—a well-earned lay day. We eased into the morning at a leisurely pace, then turned to boat chores in the afternoon. Sea strainers got a thorough cleaning, and a Racor filter was swapped out—just enough maintenance to feel productive.

Rain set the mood for most of the day, save for a stunning sunrise and an equally striking sunset. At 7 a.m., the NatGeo expedition ship arrived, and for the next few hours, we watched from the dry comfort of our cabin as tenders ferried 90 rain-soaked guests back and forth to the Hakai Institute. Their enthusiasm was admirable, but we were grateful our exploring was done yesterday—under sunny skies and in solitude.

At 6 p.m., the NatGeo ship pulled anchor and glided off toward its next destination. Not long after, a turbo Beaver touched down in the bay and dropped off a lone passenger at the dock. As if on cue, the skies cleared and we were treated to a peaceful, rain-free evening.
