From Campbell River aka "civilization" we hit the bounding seas over to Cortez Island's Gorge Marina. Winds were 25+ for hours with waves constantly splashing over the bow. It felt good to be out of the wind and in a safe harbor.
Mark requested that I shave his head. It will look much better when the rest of his head gets tan. He sort of has that Albert Finney-Daddy Warbucks thing on.
Today, Thursday, we left the dock at 7:15 am to catch the right slack water at rapids 22 miles aways. We got there a few hours early, so we just floated around for 3 hours.
Tonight we are at a small marina/resort on Thurlow Island-Blind Channel. Fortunaly, the rain did not begin until we had moored, walked the dog, and did our shopping. Boy, is it raining now!
Tomorrow?, we will do another set of rapids--at slack. Every night the charts and tide books come out for the planning of the next leg of the journey.
