We slipped out of Frypan Bay just as the first hint of light crept across the sky. Rain tapped softly on the deck, and a thick blanket of low gray clouds stretched across the horizon, merging sea and sky into one seamless, muted canvas. Now and then, the fog pulled back like a curtain, offering fleeting views of rugged, forested slopes before quietly closing in again.
As the day wore on, the mist began to lift, and Shearwater slowly took shape on the shoreline—its weathered buildings and long docks appearing like a welcome waiting to be accepted. For a moment, it looked like the rain might hold off. But as we edged closer, a light drizzle returned, soon settling into a steady, familiar rhythm by the time we tied up.
Our time here has been a real pleasure, especially reconnecting with our friends aboard EmBark—one of those small joys that makes even the grayest day feel warm.
Today, we will leave Shearwater behind and continue our adventures northward, winding our way up the Inside Passage.

When we first saw this rocky shoreline we thought we were looking at a spirt bear.
