When we cross the Strait of Georgia, we usually exit out of Gabriola Pass and overnight in Silva Bay to take the next day's favorable wind, but yesterday we left from Porlier and shot across to Smuggler's Cove on the Sunshine Coast, a 37 nm long sail.
The wind was 10-15 kts out of the SE, perfect for crossing. We transited through Porlier at 9h12(slack) and arrived at 16h at Smuggler's Cove.
It rained a bit during our transit. We fired the woodstove as soon we dropped the anchor :>. A good day.

I'm keeping a very detailed log of our travels, complete with silly drawings.
If it's interesting enough, maaaaybe I'll compile it into another book.

Please share a drawing, if appropriate, to give a flavour :)

"Added a bit more scope for protection" is a phrase impenetrable unless you anchor out in a small boat!

As is that little "Duh" and shudder that runs through the boat when there isn't enough scope and you are likely dragging.

Thank you ... I hope all's well :)
