Heading south to Quatsino


Tuesday June 17
Depart: Sea Otter Cove, 0830
Raining, light winds, 11 C The weather pattern has definitely changed, we are seeing more rain and winds from the southeast.
We had a slight mishap on the way out of Sea Otter Cove at low tide, and of course I was in charge of the helm at the time. Hmmm, well we just barely touched bottom, and then had to quickly through it in reverse to get off the sand bar. Nothing serious, but another lesson to learn.
Arrive: Winter Harbour 1520 Lat: 50 30.91 Lon: 128 01.74
Trip log: 339.0nm day: 29.8 nm
We took our dingy to shore, and met the people who run the light house. They invited us to come visit them before we leave the area. The picture above is the old fish canning house at Winter Harbour. The sun did eventually come out, and we enjoyed happy hour outside in the warm sunshine.

Rope on a dock.

ooo - that photo of the rope is a prize winner, Kathy! I got your email -- thanks for writing back. It reminded me to come and check your blog. Good to see pics of your latest adventures. Good luck! :-)

Thanks for your kind comments!

I truly enjoyed your log and photos (the photos are really good). It's plain you have spent time editing and culling them. I thoroughly enjoyed your blog of your saga. I will forward the link to the 10&2 skipper, Ross Anderson, a good friend here in Vermont. He keeps his boat in Port Townsend, WA.

Favorable winds,

Dave Usher
