From radio waves to your computer

VA7 TDA wrote on Saturday, July 3rd via Ham radio....

"After we left Tahsis, we went to Yuquot, aka Friendly Cove. We really liked it there. Found out that we qualify as lighthouse keepers. Maybe when we grow up we will do that! The Williams family at Friendly Cove is very hospitable. Samson Williams is a master carver and his work is impeccable.

The ocean beach is stunning. It is just one of the best places. From Yuquot we headed around Estevan Point. We had a good sail on head sail only. Winds blowing up to 22 knots and finally from the northwest.

Here we sit at Hot Springs Cove. The springs are very busy during the day with boatload after boatload of tourists. Ron and I did the springs at 0830 this morning. We spent the rest of the day carving a plank for the boardwalk. We didn't know we could carve so well! OK, having the dremmel tool sure helped a lot.

Monday we will head to Ahousat. We heard they have cheap fuel there. From Ahousat we will head to Ucluelet. I am ready for some fresh fruit and vegetables."

End of ham radio transmission. Ron, Janice and Winston - over and out.

  1. Hey guys,
    Email via ham radio arrived just fine. Still cannot see you on AIS even during the day. You can report your position through Airmail too if AIS is not working. Glad you are having fun. Holistic Sailor, VA7 PDQ.
