August 11-12, 2019 — Jones Cove to Port McNeill, Vancouver Island

We’re underway at daybreak, headed for Blunden Harbour.  Today turned out to be one of those rare days when conditions are perfect for rounding Cape Caution:  No wind, no fog, swell height at West Sea Otter is .5 meters, and the tide is flooding at Slingsby.  Yay! 

The sea at Cape Caution is so flat it looks like a millpond.  Since conditions are so perfect, we quickly alter course for Port McNeill.  It takes us just 6 hours from Jones Cove to Port McNeill.  This just might be our best rounding of Cape Caution, ever.

This is the height of the boating season for this area, so North Island Marina, where we usually tie up, and where I usually upload my blog, had no vacancies.  So, we had to tie up in the public marina, where there is no internet access.  Oh, well.  

The fog rolled in this evening.  We’ll stay here another day, waiting for clear weather.
