Sunday, June 2, 2019 — Cullen Harbour to Port McNeill, Vancouver Island

By 0630 hrs, we are underway for Port McNeill, and making good time.  Queen Charlotte Strait is flat calm and there isn’t any fog.  We can’t believe our good fortune.  When we are an hour out, we call the marina to see if they have a spot for us, and they do.  Yay!  Unfortunately, the spot they assign us is so far away from the router that the WiFi signal is sketchy at best.  And, to compound the problem, we have a couple of megayachts tied up just behind us, which are  blocking the signal.  I can connect and check email, but I can’t upload posts to my blog.  Maybe there isn’t enough bandwidth.  

Well, since I couldn’t post to my blog, I decided to do the laundry.  This is our last chance to do laundry until we get to Ocean Falls, about 3 weeks from now.  It took me 3 hours to do the laundry, but when I got back to the boat, Al had dinner waiting for me…delicious Sunday pizza.

After dinner, I tried posting to my blog again.  Still no luck.  This was not looking good.  I went ahead and watched my DVD movie at 2000 hrs.  When my movie was over at 2200 hrs, I decided to try posting one last time.  Well, persistence pays off.  It was slow going, however.  I was up until 0200 hrs, and was only able to upload the posts for May 3-4.
