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.
