Steady supply of rain

The ecology here on the Pacific coast is called temperate rainforest. Apparently tocultivate a rainforest takes not just a lot of rain over the year, but a steady daily supply of the wet stuff. A bit for breakfast, a bit for lunch and dinner and a solid helping over the night.

To make a forest like this

At least that is our observation. No alarm tonight, but a steady downpour of rain accompanied by the thunder of waves breaking against the rocks made sure it was no silent night.

And everything was either soaking wet or just damp.

Under our dining room tarp it was just damp. We had a nice breakfast looking out at the rain running off the tarp.

Then it was time to load the boats and 0940 were off to another helping of heavy Pacific swells breaking on the skerries outside. It took a bit of focus, but fortunately it was just four km of it before we came into sheltered waters.

The rainforest was being well cultivated today as well, but sitting in a dry suit in the kayak we didn’t mind, just as the sea otters, sea lions and whales that crossed our paths (whales, one pretty close) or followed us (sea lions)

Lunch was grey and wet, but that made the soup taste even better.

Another two hours paddle and we arrived at a perfect campsite that Mikko had spotted on google.

It was still raining, but before we were ready to start dinner the sun came out!!!

Dinner postponed, all textiles out to dry and Mikko and Erling even took a dip.

Nothing is better than a sunny evening in camp in a rainforest.
