Out of the Bay It rained most of the night, morning light showing everything wet, with water dripping from the solar panels and rigging. Warm coffee and breakfast helped us muster up and out, dressing the boat for passage. Off the dock by nine, the rain was taking a break, with the darker clouds holding to the South, our course this morning.
It wasn’t a long passage really, 2-3 hours. The tide would help us along. I was concerned about any lingering swells from the overnight winds, but as we headed across Swanson Channel the sea appeared languid, worn out from the night’s bravado. With shower’s dark curtains falling in the distance, we crossed quietly through Satellite and Shute Passage. Our goal, narrow John Passage, would see us free of the busy ferry traffic and safely on our way to Tsehum harbor and Van Isles marina.

Even wet and rainy, there is always time for hot coffee!
Ferries. Big and fast. Best to stay out of their way.
