We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
Last week we were expecting another wet day for hiking and, sure enough, it was raining most of the time we were hiking though especially heavy at lunch time. We chose the route that takes us from near the start of Davie Bay road through a mix of clearcuts and forest down to the beach close to Mouat Point. There is a summer cabin there with a covered verandah that makes a perfect rain shelter, so very welcome this particular day. The sea was grey and as far as the eye could see covered in breaking waves driven by a strong south-easter. A loaded barge heading north was soon lost in the rain that restricted visibility, and only close to the shore was the sea calm in the lee of the point. Even there the frequent back eddies of wind made curious dark patterns on the surface of the water.
