Port San Juan to Cordova Bay

Low tide in the morning, we love exploring what is revealed when the tide goes out.

Arrive: Cordova Bay 2000

A long day, but we made good time through Juan de Fuca, hitting over 10 knots towards Victoria.

Our rudder seems to be working okay, but there it is still a major concern.

Leave: Leave Dodger Passage 0530

Arrive: Mill Bay, Port San Juan

The morning started off very badly as we hit the bottom of the keel on a rock and then the rudder also hit a rock. We have done something to the rudder, but the extent of the damage will have to wait until we get home and have a look. I am sure we are going to be hauling out in the near future to do some repair.

But the rest of the day, went not too badly. It was choppy but not windy to start, but as we moved away from Barkley Sound, the chop died off, and the swells evened out.
