Sunday, June 12, 2016 Montague Harbour to Pender Harbour - 6 ¼ hours 65 miles

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.
