OK, I know I am sounding like a broken record but you guessed it -- another early start. Anchor was up at 5 and we had Khutze Inlet to ourselves. Fog and clouds nearly reaching the surface of the water but brighter skies ahead. Almost no boat traffic at all today. Saw another group of dolphins -- they appeared to be feeding and showed very little interest in our boat. Long narrow channels of water with snow capped mountains in the background and waterfalls all along our route. Traveled over 90 miles today and anchored at Lewis Island. Surprised to find a shallow place to anchor -- less than 30 feet when we arrived. Imagine our surprise when looking at the tide tables to discover the tide would rise from 6 feet to over 20 feet and drop back to 3 feet by morning. As we anchored, the sun came out and the wind died. Beautiful!McDuff still spends much of his time "undercover" but he has taken to wandering about the boat now and again. Maybe he will learn to be a real boat cat!
We are positioned for yet another early start with the hope of arriving in Prince Rupert. Barrie and Larry will put together a plan for dealing with the heat exchanger and other necessities.
