Day 6 - Happy July 4th - Shaman Travel Day


Former "Funtime" Owners


"OOPS"


Happy 4th of July to all of our American friends!
We have a lazy morning, check in on the VHF radio to see if anyone else we know has made it up, it appears not. We will leave around the crack o’ noon to make the 4:00 slack tide at the rapids at Stuart Island. Before pulling out, Paul comes over and lets us know that there is a boat high and dry at the head of Prideaux. Mike thinks it’s a charter boat, that would be the only reason someone wouldn’t check their depth sounder before dropping anchor and stern tying to shore? No damage appears to be done, just injured pride I am sure. As we are pulling up our anchor, we run into the former owners of Bean and Scotts boat “Funtime” formerly called Winsk – they are pleased to hear that it has been restored!
Light winds greet us when we get to the intersection of Homfrey Channel and Toba Inlet. Lots of logging still going on up here, although perhaps they are off right now with fire season kicking in.
Dual evening destination, if the wind is down, we will press on to the lower Broughtons, if the wind is still up, we will hole up at Cardero’s for Schnitzel.
