Forward Harbor
This morning we got up early (6:15 am) and after a cup of coffee, headed out and went through Greene Point and Whirlpool rapids. We set anchor in Forward Harbor at 9:30 am.
Forward Harbor is a long inlet almost two miles long. A half mile inside is a small anchorage known as Douglas Bay. We had the whole place to ourselves, until after 3 pm. Now there are 10 boats with an equal number of sailboats as powerboats.
It would be my guess that all are planning on heading out through Johnstone Straits tomorrow as we are. We will go out the harbor, through Sunderland Channel into the Straits. We plan to head for the Broughton Islands but we will see what it is like in the Straits. We remember a cold, windy day that stretched far into the night when we did our shakedown cruise around Vancouver Island in 2001 with Jesse and Sarah. We saw cruise ships going by and we could hear the music, the tickling of glasses from the ships. Sarah imagined the warm baths they could be taking versus sitting in the cockpit in foul weather gear.
I hope our passage tomorrow is warm and dry and uneventful.
No worries,
SV Windarra
