We had known that we were going to be on Pekona on one of the only rainy days in the last few weeks so were concerned that it would put a dampener on the trip - Chris even contacted us to offer to do the day's sailing with us the day we arrived if we could get to Mayne early enough. As it turned out the weather really didn't matter and we had an amazing day's sailing.
Our trip started with a stunning sunset over Village Bay, we (my wife, me, my 10 year old and 6 year old sons) easily settled in to cooking, eating and sleeping on board on the first night. We woke to a slightly grey but still beautiful morning - the day started well when we spotted Orcas swim across the entrance to the bay and got better and better with many seals, eagles and other wildlife.
My eldest son was so taken he didn't want to leave and I suspect now has the sailing 'bug'.
