Today we have to transit two rapids (much milder than
yesterday’s) and Johnstone Strait. After several consecutive early mornings the
group was ready to sleep in so we opted to leave the dock about 10:45 a.m.
rather than the 5:00 a.m. departure I had originally planned.
The rapids were easy but the 10-15 knot breeze in Johnstone
Strait caused chop that was uncomfortable for a few of the smaller boats. They
perservered, but their tone on the VHF suggested they’d rather wait for calmer
conditions.

We got into Port Harvey mid afternoon. George and Gail (the
owners) took good care of us, catching lines and baking pizza. John and Lorine
on Ocean Alexandra hosted the whole
group for a cocktail hour(s) on their boat. Some of our participants had never
been on a yacht of that size and were pretty awe struck.
