Beautifully Broken/ That's how the light gets in

Tuesday, after a somewhat leisurely breakfast, we packed a few windbreakers, some water, and some lunch and boarded Karl & Cindy's boat to explore some of the Pacific Rim National park reserve. We headed toward a group of islands called "the broken group" to see what we could see. We anchored the boat and took turns in the zodiac to get to Benson Island.

According to one website:

" Archaeological research dates traditional use of Benson Island for over 5,000 years. Tseshaht First Nation’s oral traditions name this site as their origin place where the first Tseshaht man (Naasiya’atu) and woman (Naasayilhim) were created. It became the site of their principal village of Ts’ishaa. It is from this village that the Tseshaht derive their name, as Tseshaht literally means “people of Ts’ishaa”. 

We had lunch on the beach, explored the tide pools and enjoyed the calm waters and the grey light of an overcast day lit with sunlight that occasionally seeped through  the folds of the clouds. Upon returning to the house, we relaxed until the delicious BBQ lamb dinner prepared by master chef Ross. 

I'm losing track of the post 9:30 pm bedtimes for Rosie.
