Gowland Harbour, Quadra Island

Time: 0750
Humidity 74% Temp: 16% Partly cloudy, wind 3-5 knots, current 3.2 knots on ebb tide.
Lv: Billygoat Bay, Helmcken Island
Course: Johnstone Strait > Discovery Passage > Seymour Narrows > Gowland Harbour
We have the current in our favour for the time being so we are heading out. Lots of other traffic this morning. We saw some orcas, about 6 or so, close to Chatham Point, but not close enough to get any pictures. We stopped in Plumper Bay for a couple hours to wait for slack water in Seymour Narrows. Going through the narrows, we had a cruise ship breathing down our necks. We wanted to put up the sails and start doing some tacking!

I'm looking at this just one hour after you left for the day. Don't forget to be safe and warm.
