We had a 2 kt push for most of our trip today. We went through Chatham Channel which is very
narrow and one is guided by range markers to keep off of the sand bars. We have heard that people have seen grizzly
bears here, but no, luck for us. We saw
dolphins in Current Passage but they did not come to play in our wake. We have a following sea in Johnstone Strait
and Fred is hand steering since our auto-pilot does not handle this well. We are going to try an anchorage that we
haven't been to before. We anchored in
Thurston Bay just off of Nodales Channel.
Well, it is much more exposed than we thought it would be and we have 2
ft. chop coming off the channel. It is
very uncomfortable. We decided at about
5:30 PM to move to a more protected anchorage before dark. Cameleon Harbour is near and is land
locked. The wind is still here but the
water is calm. This is a much better
for the night.
