Wednesday, September 25 Squirrel Cove to Comox 3 ¼ hours 37.4 miles

We have to start heading home...  We made the decision to head south along Vancouver Island instead of re-tracing of out trip thus far.   We were going to go to Campbell River but decided to make a diagonal trip from Cortes Island to Comox.   There isn't a cloud in the sky and the winds are mild.  The trip through Desolation Sound and Baker Passage to the Strait of Georgia was lovely.  In the Strait the winds were only 5-10 mph but we had a 2'-4' following sea the whole time.  Our auto-pilot has real trouble keeping up with this kind of sea.  Fred had to hand-drive for a couple of hours.  The is really tiring.  We were glad to get to the Comox Bar without any other boat traffic.  Once through the Bar we anchored at Henry Bay off of Denman Island.
