Day 15 - Drew Harbour through Whiterock Passage

Range Markers Everywhere (thankfully!)
Nasty Rocks
Skirt all the Rocks!



White Rock Passage seperates Maurelle and Read Island through a very narrow channel littered with rocks. There are range markers and rock markers all the way through, so as long as there is no Tidal run, its is quite safe. Its a bit of a short cut to get up to Stuart Island area. Its through this passage that we see the school that Suzzane is teaching at.

It isn't an adventure until you push your skills to the limit. When the Captain slows the boat down and says "I'd rather be going slow when we hit the Rocks" - then you know its going to be a challenge! We took a short cut through White Rock Passage enroute to Bute Inlet. Lots of interesting photos along the way. We made it through unscathed and headed up Bute Inlet.
