4 hours - 10 kn from Forward Harbour to Port Harvey
9:00 am Pull up anchor and head out to Johnston strait.
As we sit and watch all the other boats leave, we wonder if we shouldn`t leave ourselves. The weather is unchanged, stating 20-25 kn winds in Johnston Strait. From 5:00 am to 9:00 a steady stream of boats is lifting anchor and leaving, until all that is left is us.
We make the decision that we will poke our nose out and see whats happening. Well...... its about 4 foot moderate and quite bouncy. I Batten down our stuff and we shall see how far we get.
Well it was lumpy and quite lumpy, I must say.All my geegaws, glassware etc. were on the floor and we were lucky nothing was broken. (I put them there! :) )
I empathize with the kids and the grandkids, it was not comfortable for them, trying to keep a car seat lashed to the seat and kids from bouncing around and one scared little boy crying.....I had forgotten what it must seem like through the eyes of the little ones. CJ and Shannon were troopers and managed to make it in to Port Harvey with just a few stories.
Our ongoing adventures of cruising up and down our beautiful coast - delicious, breath-taking scenery with some unforgettable characters and adventures that make you want to buy a boat!
