| Powell River Sunset from my sisters Deck |
Up and early - trying to catch the tides @ Campbell River to beat the wind up Johnston Strait. Up even earlier than anticipated as the clock in my phone is an hour early....hahaha....Betty - One, Lemon Drops - None. The same can't be said for my bro-in-law and the scotch he consumed and the cigar he smoked....guessing he going to have the sledge hammer effect today!
Seas calm, Sunny, not quite sure if hot yet...too early. Will check back throughout the day.
Well - it's a few hours since I checked in - stopped in Campbell river for a fuel top up (1.22 plus gst) had a leisurely cruise up Johnstone strait with a nice push until - u guessed it ! Wind came up - 20 knots NW with an ebb tide - same frikkin spot as last year -
Current Passage again! Got the shut kicked out of us with some pretty deep holes. Remind
us again why we do this - this year we calculated it was 10 nm shorter (then going through
the rapids) so we thought it would would try it again. Stupid.stupid.stupid - just saying :(
We r safely tied up in Port Harvey and the dog has quit panting and I have cleaned up downstairs. Looking forward to pizza tonight.
Wildlife seen - add one doe and fawn at the uplands in Powell River from the public docks.
One Orca south of Campbell River, 2 separate pods of white - sided dolphins (around 50 total)
