We were up at 0600 hrs and on our way to to Blunden Harbour by 0630 hrs. Wind, sea and current conditions were perfect, and we had an easy crossing of Queen Charlotte Strait. By 0930 hrs, we had our hook down in Blunden. The anchorage was completely empty. Nice.
Spent the day taking showers and resting up for our next passage, which could, if conditions are right, involve the rounding of the dreaded Cape Caution.
At 2200 hrs, we listened to the marine weather forecast for McGinnis to Pine Island. They’re forecasting light winds in the morning, building to 10-15 knots in the afternoon. No fog was mentioned. West Sea Otter was reporting a swell height of 1 meter. Sounds perfect!
