We had the sails up on and off most of the day. Sailing through Johnstone Strait with a 15-20 knot NW wind was fun. Then the wind started to pick up and we had to reef the main and then take it down altogether. But we were rockin!
Arv: Billygoat Bay, Helmcken Island

Really nice anchorage here. It is quiet (we are the only boat) and nicely out of the current and wind. We went for a walk on Helmcken Island after dinner and watched a cruise ship slowly move through Race Passage with the current and winds against him.
