Well, we finally got off the dock.
I am surprised that there is any waterline showing at all given the amount of stuff that has been packed aboard. Every nook and cranny is jammed as well as the anchor locker and stern lockers --- I think we will have to store the prawn trap on the aft bunk and just sleep around it.
Things have been a bit windy so we have had a couple of days beating North in 15 - 20 kt winds so while we haven't made great progress everyone has had great fun sailing.
We are currently in Pender Harbour and you can see our course that Spot has tracked.
We are off to Refuge cove today and from there we head through Gillard Passage into Johnstone Strait.
On this leg we have Dmitri, Sergey, and Olga with us and while some are new to sailing, everyone is having a great time.
I am going to work on getting some photos to add for the next post.
Cheers, Turicum
WOW It's incredible what uv set up here! I don't pretend for a minute to understand how to operate all the options, bells and whistles available here. This is even more impressive than that VIC-MAUI stuff. The only demension that's not provided is ur altitude. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ! And it would explain ur lingering in one location --- amoung other anomolies.
ReplyDeleteI see ur approaching a shared latitude of
50 22' 27.98" N. I'll anticipate that tingling feeling for those one or two moments.
Looking forward to ur ongoing log. Well done.
