Really, the Strait of Georgia can be bad, really bad. Just not this time.
Morning came and we left the Nanaimo dock with every expectation of swells and unexpected winds. What happened was unexpected and a bit hard to believe. The entire trip was as calm as a farm pond. Maybe even a bath tub.

I wouldn't have believed it...
Tucked safely into Pender Harbor I basked in the glory of such an uneventful crossing. The military range, WG, wasn’t even active. More on that later.
We had plans to leave the next morning but the winds began to pick up as the sun rose. Most of the boats that left early came right back in, reporting waves of 4-5 feet, so we kicked back and stayed another night.
This morning all was calm. With coffee and a delicious breakfast we headed out into flat seas for a five hour run to Westview, just south of Powell River.

Two quiet days.
Tomorrow we head up into Desolation Sound for a few days of R&R anchored up in one of our favorite spots, Prideaux Haven. There we celebrate Sarah’s birthday and our return to BC’s amazing cruising grounds.
