The Salish Sea

This last week Nick, Oscar (Nick's son) and I sailed over to Mayne Island to visit Nick's sister, Kathy,  and her partner, John.  We had fabulous weather there, back and in between, sailing across the strait in 15-20 knot winds, making about 7.5 knots on average, and then down Trincomali Channel to Montague Harbour for our first night.  Excellent moorage there tied to mooring buoy, and good swims at the beach.  Genoa sail jammed in the rolling furler the next day taking it in, so went without it for the rest of the trip. Cost us about a knot and a half on our way back across the Salish Sea.  Fabulous trip out and looking forward to lots more this August...
