Photo: Islands in fog

Winds are predicted for 20-30 knots but when we wake up we find calms and fog. We wait awhile for the fog to lift, then motor around the south end of Hurricane Island, through narrow Brydon Passage into Kildidit Sound. The fog out there is thick and we've done so much twisting and turning through the islands that I've lost all sense of direction and find it difficult to recognize the islands when they pop out of the fog. Thank heavens for the chart plotter!

We cross Hakai Chanel and enter Pruth Bay. We're surprised after several days of hardly seeing any other boats to see three big megayachts, a sailboats and several powerboats anchored at the head of the bay off the Hakai Resort. We anchor in the south arm of Pruth Bay all by ourselves. As we're tidying up the boat I hear a raucous honking and croaking and see a flock of sand hill cranes flying across the bay.
