We left Port Harvey at 8am after Capt. Rod paid our bill & picked up our 2 cinnamon rolls which were ready at 7:30. You order them at dinner. Clearly, there is no will power on this boat...serious diets will be in order when we get home!!! However, you could say that we are conducting a survey to determine whose rolls are the best (-: Each marina has their own version.
3 boats left around 6:30am to head out to Johnstone Strait & another left when we did. Predictions were for light wind in the am but we couldn't get a good read on the fog until we were out there ourselves. The web cams that the owner uses weren't giving helpful info today.
Once we got out to Johnstone, the fog was thick on the water. We had radar & the fog horn on, wind was 1-3 knots, water flat. About an hour out, the fog started to lift a little & radar was turned off about 1-1/2 hrs. out & we were through the strait in a little over 2 hours. Blue sky by 11:00 & docked at Blind Channel at 1:15.
A large 109' sailboat came in next to us - the Sea Quell (you can find it online for pictures & info). We visited with a fellow from Orcas Island who is on board as a "tour guide" for their trip to Glacier Bay in Alaska. Apparently the American owner is on board. We've seen at least 5 crew. The boat usually travels between the Mediterranean & Carribean.
We enjoyed the Blind Channel restaurant again tonight. We ended up eating with 2 other couples that were at Port Harvey with us. Our reservations were for 7pm & we didn't get back to the boat until after 10:00.
