When we awoke this morning, low gray clouds hung over Turnbull Cove. But even then hints of blue beyond could be seen and by the time we pulled the anchor around 8 AM, you could tell it was going to be a very nice day.
We exited the Broughton’s through Wells Passage and turned right outbound along Queen Charlotte Strait. The water was only lightly rippled as we motored along in the sunshine that has been so rare thus far on our trip.
The further along we went, the more evident became the ocean swells rolling past the north end of Vancouver Island. The shore and its vegetation reveal that we are no longer in protected waters. Trees are lower and the exposed rocks pounded by the surf are bare of sea life.
Tonight’s anchorage, Allison Harbour, is one of the last good anchorages before rounding Cape Caution. We can wait here, well protected, until we get the weather and sea conditions we want.
