Saturday, July 30, 2016 Waddington Bay to Viner Sound 1 ¼ hours 11.6 miles

The wind has never let up for any length of time.  The wind after dark was still 10-15 kts.  Fred stayed on anchor watch until 1:00 am.  He then felt it safe to go to bed.  When we got up this morning we had some decisions to make.  Currently our anchor is holding well but we are still in a part of the bay that has no protection from the wind and doing 180 degree swings.  We didn’t think we could tolerate another day and night like yesterday so we pulled anchor and headed east.  The further we went the lighter the wind.  We pulled into Viner Sound to see if there was a mooring buoy available.  There were and we headed for one of them.  Getting attached was rather difficult in an ebb tide and 10 kts of wind pushing us about.  Finally we are secure on the buoy and I think we will be much more relaxed here.  Fred saw some salmon jumping so decided to do a little fishing while he had his cigar.  The fish continue to laugh at him…
