Crossing Hecate Strait

I didn't take any pictures on this day because there really is nothing to see out there except gray. The water blends into the sky with the fog and everything is gray. We didn't even see another boat until we were almost over to Queen Charlotte and it was a fishing boat.

We start off motoring, but once we clear the islands we are able to put up both sails in a 15-20 knot wind on our port beam. A very successful sail, finally!
