Leaving at first light, we picked up our shrimp ring and found none.... By 9am Sue rolled out the jib to a following wind, and as the wind built to NW15-20, we sailed at 5.0- 7.0 knots against a 2 knot current. At one point we were heading into a 5 knot current, so we added the engine to the jib's work and squeaked a 2.2-3.5 knots. Anyway we had a few hours of sailing for a change! Sue calculated when the Green Rapids would be at slack to cross into the inner islands at 1pm. By 3:20pm we were in Thurston Bay with the anchor down, having gone 57 miles in 9 hours. Sunny, blue skies remained with us all day.
