Another beautiful day in paradise dawned, with the barometer at 1019 mb. After a leisurely breakfast, we weighed anchor and got going about 09:00 and headed south, about a mile off the coast of Moresby Island. About 11:15, we sighted 4 or 5 grey or humpback whales just to the NE of Langtry Island, all headed SW, more or less parallel to our course. We turned west into Rose Harbour and were tied up at the mooring buoy adjacent to Rose Harbour House by 13:30. We had reserved a couple of rooms for the night, for the wives and kids to spend a night ashore; this also gave all of us access to the showers at this lovely B&B. The shower room is basically an atrium in the middle of the house; the only privacy is provided by the enormous number of plants of every variety that surround the shower area; obviously, the moisture from the shower benefits the plants - very green. All of the fresh water used at the house is rainwater, collected and stored up the hill from the house in a number of multi-thousand gallon tanks; hot water is provided by a passive solar water heater on the roof, so showers were taken before sunset. The family who run this isolated establishment are a fascinating couple with 3 kids of their own. We had also booked a full dinner there, which we shared with the owners and their kids. (Tierry - can't remember his name) regaled us long into the evening with tales of his "immigration" from the wilds of northern Quebec to Rose Harbour along with the history of his and his family's stay in Rose Harbour and how they had built up the resort. We all slept like logs.
