1. Bit gloomy in Beware Passage
2. Sun comes out for kayaking (Mimkwamlis village site)
We did an (unusual for us) dinner time transit north through the Yaculta rapids. Easy transit with few other vessels and no gin palaces roaring though (a welcome change). But not arriving to anchorage (Bickley Bay) til 9'ish pm a pain. Then we had an easy, albeit motor, trip up Johnstone Strait A few days in the Broughtons the several in Sointula and 1 night provisioning in Port McNeill.
Yesterday, we decided to setup for going around Cape Caution, motoring 6 hrs to just SE of Caution at Miles Inlet (a favourite).
This morning (Saturday), conditions were perfect for going up and around Cape Caution. BUT the weather forecast above Caution for the next 5+ days had 20-30 (!) knot winds every day (plus rain, etc). It sounded depressing. Given our late leaving for this Summer's cruise, we decided to turn back.
Maybe next year....
Right now, we are heading towards Wells Passage, calm seas, little wind. Rain and some winds are forecast here too (but not so bad... no "30 knots" in forecast... yet).
See many sea otters along the way.
