After a bumpy night of sleeping, we head out @ 930 to get up to Forward Harbour to wait out wind. Its the lumpiest we have encountered running through Cordero Channel and out to Whirlpool rapids.
In Forward Harbour, there are at least 9 boats sitting waiting. Very busy place to wait for the wind to die down.
Our first black bear sighting! When we arrived, we saw a black bear sow and her cub on the beach. The boys were pretty fascinated with this. After lunch, grumpa took them out to the beach as the tide had come up and the bear had left. No sooner had he said to the boys that there were no bears on the beach, Shannon yelled, Bear on the Beach and almost right in front of them was another bear (probably sow from the other side of the beach) Guess it was not a good time to run the dog and boys on the beach!
Wind is howling like crazy and after a nice dinner, off to bed. Prior to bed, we had decided that the weather channel had not changed much for tomorrow, and we would spend another day/night here.
