Strait of Georgia, Heading Northwest
May 28-29
Yesterday, May 28, was a light day. Alex and David left Rouse Bay mid morning and traveled about 6 miles up the east coast of Lasqueti island, through Little Bull Passage, to Scottie Bay. There friends of Alex’s buddy, Mark Harfenist, had learned of the voyage and came to the boat to greet them. They tied Wayward Sun (by permission) to an unoccupied houseboat unattached from shore. (David and Alex did NOT go ashore.) They had fun and relaxing time. An excellent day.
Today, Saturday, they were off at 5 am and headed northwest. It’s a sunny day but strong headwinds are slowing them down and making rough seas. It will be a long day. They are hoping to reach Campbell River, a bit south of Seymour Narrows.
