Here we are 2-3 weeks into our trip. The first two weeks we spent messing about in the San Juan Islands using Blind Bay on Shaw Island as a home base. The weather has been sunny, very windy, and rough. We are fair weather sailors and wind over 20 knots is uncomfortable for us. Besides which I am fighting an infection. We went to a clinic on Lopez Island and the cure is worse than th problem. Back in Blind Bay storm passed through with thinder and lightening and a different afternoon we watched three boats drag their anchors.
We met up with Rob and Becky aboard mv Maxine to cruise with. We passed into Canadian waters and were heading north. Dodds Narrows is a high current pass up to 12 knots so everyone tries to get thru at slack water, both directions and the passage is only about 75 feet wide. It is not always a happy parade
