As predicted, 4:30 came early this morning and we considered going back to bed for a few hours and leaving with the afternoon tide before finally deciding that we could sleep once we got there. We untied from Randy’s mooring buoy close to 5 am and motored down Jervis Inlet making way for Princess Louisa. We arrived at Malibu Rapids earlier than expected and had to wait 15 minutes or so for the current to slow down before transiting. While we were waiting, it started to sprinkle and we grew excited in hopes that we were going to see this glorious place in a storm when 70 to 140 waterfalls are born from the rain, but we had no such luck. The shower only lasted a few minutes and cleared shortly after transiting Malibu – maybe next time. When we arrived at Chatterbox Falls, our old spot on the dock was open and waiting for us as if we’d never left and we quickly fell into our previous routine – lunch, kayaks, cooling down in the waterfall pools, dinner, and drinks – life is good!
