Ready for the crux of the trip!

After a quiet night in Tribune Bay, we headed out into the Straits of Georgia. A bit choppy at first, it calmed down for an easy trip. We were able to sail a bit as we got closer to Cambell River.

CR is all about fishing. We stayed at thr First Nation owned and operated Discovery Harbour Marina. Well run and closr to everything. More food, a bit of booze and fishing licenses for the guys were purchased. We had a later start the next morning because of the timing of the Seymour Narrows. This is very tight channel where currents can run up to 18kts against or with you. It proved uneventful as we timed it just right.

We stayed in Kelsey Bay which was just a bunch of old, dilapidated fishing boats and a docj that half our boat fit on. We met a kayaker, paddling to port Hardy and after giving him some water we fed him dinner, beer and had him spend the night on our boat rather than find a beach somewhere to stay. Great guy and nice to pay it forward...




We had more nice (but cooler) weather as we headed northwest to Port McNeil. We spent the night and are now abput to push off for Hope Island. Tomorrow morning we make the move around Cape Scott!
Until we write from Winter Harbour!
