Weather

We're anchored in a small cove in the Broken Group, a part of Barkley Sound. The cove is small enough that there's no room to swing in the anchorage, so we've tied the stern to a tree on shore.

It's nice to finally get into this cove. It's been on my list, but I've found it occupied every time I've come by to have a look.

We ate up all our leftovers today. We provisioned three meals for seven nights because they feed four, but there's only two of us.

No sailing today. No wind. Plenty of fog though. I fired up the radar to give us visibility, make sure we didn't hit anybody. After leaving Tofino, we didn't see another boat all day.

Dodger Channel was planned for tomorrow night, just ten miles away, but the weather the following day is forecast to be nasty. 30 kts against us, gusting to 40. So we're considering options.

We're thinking about doing a long day tomorrow to avoid the worst of the coming weather. That will put us in Thatcher Cove tomorrow night, inside the Strait of Juan de Fuca and (hopefully) beyond the reach of the wind building in the Pacific Ocean.

Stay tuned.
