Our goal
today is to make it comfortably through Dodd Narrows and anchor
out in
Nanaimo. Slack at the
Narrow is
scheduled to be at 11:00 am. There
were
quite a few boats going north and south.
We went through at 10:45 am with a 2 kt push. Practically no turbulence. It is cloudy but the wind
is only 10 kts so
we decide to head across the Strait of Georgia.
It is 20 or so miles across a huge water way that can
have terrible
seas. We encounter 10-15
kt wind and
2’–3’ chop. Since the
restricted
military area ,Whiskey Gulf, is not active we made a straight
shot to Pender
Harbour. We were very glad because the route around Whiskey Gulf
adds time
& miles to the trip. We
were glad to
enter the calm waters of Pender Harbour. We anchored off of
Garden Bay.
