We woke up to thick fog…this seems to becoming a trend. We left around 9 because the fog appeared to be lifting; as we made our way down the channel we could see that the fog was thick out in the channel.
Although we have great radar and charts, and experienced drivers, being in the fog is nerve-racking. Sometimes we couldn’t see beyond the bow of the boat.
At 4 we pulled into Port Hardy – all of us were a bit antsy….

Kelley and I took a great walk to a local park.

We are beginning to see a lot of other cruisers now. Part of me wishes we were back in Alaska. We had good weather as we went to Pruth Bay, however once we entered the small cove where we were going to anchor, the fog came in.

Chuck and Kelley went off in the dinghy to a research center.

From there they took a walk over to the beach.

Lovely walk.

Look at all of the driftwood.

And, poor Chuck. He has so much to ponder – like, should I read my book or play spider when we get back to the boat!

A short hop to the marina…

It is nice to arrive early. We had sun and warmth – off to lunch at the Fisherman’s Cafe.

Tasty…we will be back to dinner.

Here are pictures of what I see as I write this post

Wonder where we are going tomorrow?

Fog! Like, is there a front to the boat? But it finally cleared – and we continued to Mathieson Channel. It is beautiful

This Inlet has extremely tall granite mountains on both sides of it. Spectacular!

We continued up to cross small rapids into Culpepper Lagoon. Tim had spoken to another captain and he said that no one goes there and it is stunning…we toured the Lagoon and decided that we would move on, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I liked how we had to curve around to enter the Lagoon.

Leaving Kynoch

We arrive at Rescue Bay after a 9 hour day…but, this does put us closer to tomorrow’s destination.
