It’s a beautiful day as we pull the anchor at 0630 hrs, headed for Cutter Cove. Al checked the tide tables and it looks like we’ll have the wind and current going with us. The sea is flat calm as we enter Sunderland Channel, and stays flat all the way up Johnstone Strait. In fact, we ‘re making such good time, we’ve decided to keep on going to Bootleg Cove, in the Broughton Group.
In Retreat Passage, a commercial prawner was setting out a long string of prawn traps. Hope he’s left some prawns for us in Booker Lagoon.

By 1245 hrs, we have the anchor down in Bootleg Cove, on Gilford Island. Bootleg Cove is very secluded, and just big enough for one boat.
