Across the Strait of Georgia
May 27
In spite of windy conditions and some rain, the guys put in a full day today. After leaving Ruxton Island in the morning, they went through Dodd Narrows, passed Nanaimo, and crossed the Strait of Georgia to Lasqueti Island (Rouse Bay) to anchor for the night. Crossing the strait was rough, and they were glad to reach their destination around 6pm. They reported seeing an eagle catch a fish.
They traveled 31 miles today, 58 yesterday and 106 miles total since leaving Bellingham on Tuesday afternoon.
Tomorrow’s weather does not look good, so they plan to take it easy, allowing themselves and the batteries recoup some strength. Weather over the weekend promises to be better.

Besides scenery and the eagle catching a fish, we saw noisy Canada geese, adult and small otters, harbor seals, and 3 Orcas just swam across the mouth of Rouse Bay.
