Today we leave civilization once again. Our route takes us
out Seaforth Channel and then through Reid Passage. In a SW wind Seaforth
Channel can get rough. Luckily, the wind has been blowing from the NW.
We got a late start (intentionally) and had an easy trip out
Seaforth Channel. A bit of swell as we neared the mouth, but nothing
uncomfortable. We passed two Canadian Coast Guard cutters today…certainly a safe
feeling!

We all got settled into Rescue Bay by late afternoon. When
anchoring Anne on Cascadia reported a
jammed windlass. I visited the boat by dinghy and started working on untangling
the rode, only to find out that the windlass was coming right out of the deck.
The installers at Ranger Tugs evidently forgot to use any Loctite or lock
washers and the nuts were backing off the bolts. Not good on such a new boat…
