Today was a long day. A slog. There's only 25 miles between Port Hardy and Bull Harbour. Our 7 am departure put us there by 11am. Conditions were favorable though, so we kept going, eventually reaching Sea Otter Cove after ten hours motoring 53 miles.
There was decent wind for the afternoon, but it was against us. We can tack into the wind for a few miles but not more than a few. It would take all summer to do this trip without using the motor.
When we got to the anchorage we found a shallow cove with barely enough depth to get in and four HUGE mooring buoys. The guide book claims they are designed to hold in hurricanes.
The cove itself is calm and quite beautiful. Tomorrow the wind is forecast to be with us. I'll believe it when I see it.
Doug says he brought home made pancake mix and wants to make us pancakes for breakfast. Cheers to that.
