We left Comox Harbour this morning, the sky beautiful and clear! Our winds were a blustery 11 knots, but we had 4' swells, some crashing over our bow. This did not go over very well with HRH Prince Charles. It was his first day of being seasick. These swells formed yesterday and over night as the winds changed direction from the SE to NW. But the good news is that the swells have calmed down now, Charles is sleeping in the bright sunshine and feeling much better. We plan to arrive in Heriot Bay on Quadra Island and maybe meet up with Susan Wilson, our B & B host for our 'Girls Getaway Weekend' last fall. I have sent her an email, we'll see if she gets it in time.

I can see we'll be getting lots of photos of HRH Prince Charles! He looks quite comfortable and cozy. He'll be a seasoned sailor by the time you return to Ladysmith! Say 'hello' to Susan from me.
I'm really enjoying your blog.
Love and more,
Mom

Poor Charles! He won't be the same when you get back home. I am enjoying the Blog as well. Great idea!

does prince charles' "shelter" have some means of attachment to the boat?
