Another foggy morning. After some last minute email I departed
Prince Rupert in thick fog. Chatham Sound was perfectly calm, but crowded. I
spent a lot of time staring at the radar screen trying to interpret what other
boats were doing.
Instead of taking the Grenville Channel route (which is kind
of boring), I turned to starboard and headed down Ogden Channel. I stopped
briefly in Kitkatla to get information for the 2015 Waggoner Guide, then worked
my way through Petrel Channel. I only saw one other boat the whole way through
Petrel Channel.

| Looking back at the narrow entrance to Ire Inlet. |
Ire Inlet was my destination for today. The books noted the
narrow entrance, but I didn’t full appreciate just how narrow until I saw it.
I’d estimate the entrance is only 25-30 feet wide. Once you enter, you’re
committed. The water was deep, however, and entrance was straightforward.
One sailboat was already at anchor, but there was plenty of
room for me. Nice anchorage.
