Day 86 - What's up doc?

Tomorrow morning we'll weigh anchor, slip through Thistle Passage, and make the return trip through Meyers Narrows. We'll have to navigate the narrows at low water slack, so we'll see depths of 20' or less. High water slack would mean a six hour wait and I'd rather have no current than more depth. All it takes is 6.5 feet. After popping out on the other side of Meyers Narrows, we'll start a two day circumnavigation of Roderick Island. What a great name for an island!

So… From Prince Rupert, we spent nights at Captain Cove, Ire Inlet, Curlew Bay, Hague Point Lagoon and Alston Cove. Then it'll be Windy Cove, Boat Cove, and Shearwater - eight nights in paradise on this segment, each one better than the next. Or so it seems sometimes, but that may have more to do with a dubious memory than with the quality of the anchorages. I can say that the bugs have been behaving themselves and we haven't seen more than one other boat in any anchorage this segment. I anticipate that the further south we get the more competition we will see for the anchorages.
