We took advantage of a very calm (but drippy) day on the Strait of Georgia to run its length from Nanaimo to Drew Harbor on the East shore of Quadra Island. We covered 78.6 miles from the dock in Nanaimo to where we dropped the anchor.
The wind started out at 15 knots but by the end of the day we were around 2 knots and the water seemed syrupy. You could see the rain drops rings on the water’s surface. You could not have asked for easier conditions on the Strait.
Quadra Island is accessible from the ferry in Campbell River and there are homes on the west shore of the Drew Harbor and a marine park (Rebecca Spit) on the east shore. I have managed to steal an open WiFi signal from someone and have used it to post this entry (so much for being in the wilderness).
Tomorrow is the short day through Surge Narrows and into the Octopus Islands.
Today’s Mileage – 78.6
Cumulative – 217.9
