We left Marina Quinched at 9:30 am this morning after listening to the Wolfgang net and signing in. The boat performed well as we motored along. Carol of SV Frannie B and I tried the DSC calling on the VHF radio and that worked just fine. The remote mic on the VHF worked as well. It has been acting up and it was difficult for anyone we called to hear us but it was okay today.
In the afternoon we caught the ebbing tide and were speeding along as fast as 8 knots over the ground, compared to our boat speed (yes the speed log it working too) of 5.6 knots. Cool.
We are in a small estuary which we are sharing with a salmon farm. In the distance we can see the snow covered mountains of the mainland. Tomorrow if weather permits we will head across to the mainland side and stop at Bahia Tictoc where it is rumored that some blue whales have been sighted.
It is good to be exploring again...
