Today we began the process of positioning the boat to cross Queen Charlotte Sound. The weather forecast calls for several days of gale force winds - so we will start to work our way to Fury Cove and wait for a better forecast before we attempt the six+ hour crossing. Depending on weather, we may stop at Codville for tonight - a place recommended by Mel & Bernice as being "bombproof" to the weather. The tides were favoring us this morning and the inside passage calm, so we opted to continue on and dropped our anchor in Fury Cove just before 1 pm. We had stopped here on the way north and it was just as beautiful. White midden beaches that remind us of Tahiti! The sun is out and the cove is calm - hard to believe their are gale force winds on Queen Charlotte Sound. I spent the afternoon topside soaking up the sun and reading while Barrie staked out his place in the pilot house to read. A very relaxing lazy afternoon. Now, this is how recreational boating is supposed to be. For dinner we had some of the salmon that Barrie had caught just two days ago. Fresh and yummy.
