Fog turning to smoke

Nakat Harbor Baidarka Arm, AK, 21-Aug-2018 — A quick post. We’ll be in Prince Rupert this evening, but I’ll be doing a oil change and may not have time to do a full post.

Leaving Ketchikan was a real leaving. We have friends there now. When asked the question, ”Will we see you next year?” We could only answer, ”We don’t know. We may be sailing to Hawaii next year.”

The traveling south has all been under power. The predicted north winds have not shown up. Yesterday we might have been able to beat southward, but we had a current to catch.

This morning the weather forecast is for fog turning to smoke in many places. We’re told there are 600 fires burning in BC. Yes, we enter Canada this afternoon and the pacific time zone.

The weather report again says sailing conditions.

Oh, yes. We’ve been anchoring in small coves and finding the depths in some places are not as expected. Jennifer did research last night. Many of the soundings were last conducted between 1870 and 1939.

We’re doing well and heading south. The next decision: east side of west side of Vancouver Island.
