“It’s out there at sea, that you are really yourself.”

- Vito Dumas

PJ

Little PJ can be a tough buoy to find but find it you must. It marks the safe edges of the sand bars and glacial boulders off Cape Lazo. Rounding PJ you are entering the Salish Sea proper and begin to feel the tidal streams, hopefully helping you lift up towards Desolation Sound as you make the crossing.

“It’s out there at sea, that you are really yourself.”

Vito Dumas

Vito Dumas (1900-1965) was an Argentine single-handed sailor. On 27 June 1942, while the world was in the depths of World War II, he set out on a single-handed circumnavigation of the Southern Ocean. He left Buenos Aires in June, sailing LEHG II, a 31-foot ketch an acronym representing "four names which marked my life". He had only the most basic and makeshift gear; he had no radio, for fear of being shot as a spy, and was forced to stuff his clothes with newspaper to keep warm.
