Wednesday May 29 Nanaimo to Pender Harbour - 37 miles, 3 ½ hours

The winds have died down but it is still a cool, wet day.  Whiskey Gulf is not “active”.  Whiskey Gulf which lies directly in the middle of a straight passage to our destination is a deep-water range operated by the Canadian and U.S. navies.  It is used to test torpedoes (unarmed) and various ship systems. This will save us about an hour of travel time to make a direct route to Pender Harbour.  It was a comfortable trip across the Straight with 10-15 mph winds and only 1 ft. chop.  We anchored in Pender Harbour between Madeira Park and Hospital Cove.
