Traveling to Klemtu

June 6

Alex and David Left Mouat Cove very early this morning, traveling through Perceval Narrows, and later in the day through Jackson Passage, to the town of Klemtu. They started out in bad weather but it improved, even becoming sunny in the late afternoon. They traveled slowly enough to put some charge in the battery.

Here’s David’s detailed description:

“We left Mouat and started toward Millbanke Sound. The swells from the Pacific were enough to be our horizons when we were in a trough. We turned north inside Cecilia Island and dodged the rock islands where the swells were crashing.  The Reid and Mathewson Channels were calm and beautiful, but the overcast sky made us slow down in order to maintain good battery level.  In Jackson Passage we caught a sunny break to get us to and across Finlayson Channel. Here again we found Pacific swells. Behind Cone Island it was calm to Klemtu. Alex got a message we needed to make a phone call at 10 EDT, and since Klemtu has cell service, we anchored for the night.”

They took advantage of the cell service to also send a few photos. The views of Wayward Sun were taken from the dinghy.
The map, as always, was prepared by Chuck Borton. The dotted line you see on the maps is the ferry route.
