Day 18 - Dent to Lagoon Cove

"Deer Crossing"

Enroute from Dent to Lagoon, we passed Cardero Lodge and a deer that we almost hit, Mike thought it was a log as the current was running a few knots. Turns out it was a deer making a swim for the other side.

We managed to beat the wind warnings in the morning and we sure know that the accuracy rate of weather forcasting up the coast is much better than in the south coast. When they say 40 knot winds in the early afternoon, they mean it. we managed to get off Johnston straight just at 1:00 pm and we were in relatively choppy seas with 40 knot winds. We arrived at Lagoon around 2:30 in time for happy hour and to see Bill and Jean (owners) at Lagoon Cove.

Bill has installed a new generator (30 kw) and will be able to offer power 24 hours instead of Mornings and early evenings. He is on the hunt for permanent caretakers as his previous caretakers are on vacation and "Big Red" has health problems and won't be back.
