Easy transit down Johnstone to Discovery Passage and through Seymour Narrows with 4 knots of current along with smoke and ash in the air and 1 mile visibility. We were able to get a slip at Discovery Passage marina enabling us to get to Crabby Bob’s (and Abby) to pick up four Dungeness crabs and a dozen oysters. While docking – Randy Harley had just pulled in and was walking-by as we were tying up. Had a nice dinner with Randy and Judy and talked a lot about fishing. He cruises at 25 knots on F/V Northstar.
