July 8 & 9, 2014
An early morning
departure to get us through Greene Point Rapids at slack … again … no problem due
to careful timing …..
Deeked into Beaver
Inlet to time the Whirlpool Rapids.
Penny made us a wonderful breakfast of mini egg quiches and sausages
then it was through Greene Point Rapids and into Forward Harbor.
After a seafood
chowder dinner, the plan for the 9th, was an early morning departure and make the
run down Johnstone strait to Pt McNeil but Mother Nature had other plans. With winds in the strait forecast to be 30-40
kn we opted to stay put in Forward Harbor for another day and move tomorrow
(when winds are forecast to drop to 10kn).
Don't be deceived by the sunshine ... it was BREEZY to say the least !!
So calls were made to
Val, and Ken and Dina who we were planning to meet in Pt McNeil, to stay them
off another day … and we sit ….. swirling around at anchor, like a top !!
With it being a
no-go day, it became a vacuum and hang pictures day !!
Then on to some
kayaking ….. getting to shore (with the wind) was NO problem .... getting back to the boats was a bit more challenging !!
We are hoping for an improvement in the forecast for tomorrow so we can make it safely to Pt McNeil ....
