Nanaimo was wet but it had its rewards. protection from the wind and prawns and shrimp! We saw a small window in the weatherfor wind and made a dash across the Queen Charlotte Straits to Secret Cove. We were grateful to only see 23 knots. By the afternoon the reports were seeing a solid 30 knots. We have found in this area when it says 15 knots it really is 20 knots.
