20 May 2017
We left Cortes Bay this morning at 8:15 to arrive at Yuculta and Dent Rapids at slack water. Beautiful day, sunshine and warm. We transited the rapids with ease and proceeded on to Blind Channel. We arrived around 3:30 pm. There are quite a few boats here, mostly sailboats. We think they are traveling together. A Nordic Tug next to us is also on the way to Alaska. We'll probably see them again tomorrow night in Port McNeil.
We left Cortes with 2 liters of shucked oysters and close to 400 clams! Tonight, Mike fixed fried oysters for dinner and we had fresh cucumbers and vinegar, and roasted rosemary red potatoes. Yesterday afternoon, Harry Lee (SYC) arrived in Cortes. We invited him over for oysters on the half shell and steamed clams with sourdough bread! He's invited us to his place in Barkley Sound for some halibut fishing. We'll take him up on the offer when we circumnavigate Vancouver Island next summer ( Good Lord willing, and the Creek don't rise!)
We plan to depart early morning tomorrow for Port McNeil. I hope to post this tomorrow night in Port McNeil! Weather is predicted to hold for next couple of days. We hope to head for Rivers Inlet on Monday morning.
21 May
We arrived in Port McNeil this afternoon around 2:30pm after an easy trip up Johnstone Strait, which was like a mill pond! We've refueled, visiting the marine hardware store and had a Calamari appetizer at the local Pub. It was excellent. We then stopped by the IGA for some needed groceries, knowing next good grocery store in in Shearwater about a week away.
We will be leaving in the morning around 5am to transit Queen Charlotte Sound. If we don't go tomorrow, we'll be stuck here in Port McNeil until Friday or Saturday. Even though we are a few days ahead of schedule we would rather use those days further north.
On our transit to Port McNeil, we spotted a humpback whale playing on the surface!
Port McNeil now offers in berth refueling. So when we moored, they drug the fuel hose down to us and we didn't have to shift berths! Very convenient!
