The report from the West Sea Otter met our standards (less than 1.5 meters of combined wind waves and swell) as did the lighthouse reports for Egg Island and Pine Island (rippled with a low westerly swell). We were away shortly after 6:30 AM.
The conditions were fine and we rounded Cape Caution a couple of hours after pulling the anchor. The further we went in Fitz Hugh Sound, the more benign became the sea state. Things damped down even further in the protected Darby Channel on the north side of Penrose Island.
As of about 1:10 PM,
we are tied to the dock at Dawsons Landing, a small general store/resort/community along Rivers Inlet. While here, we’ll add a few provisions (wine is getting low), use the Internet and other chores.
From here, we aren’t sure where exactly we will go. Based on guide books, there are some areas worth further investigating.
