Sometimes things all come together in a glorious chain of events. We departed Campbell River, fueled up at $1.20 Canadian per litre (3.7 litres per US gallon Ouch!) and made our way to the infamous Seymour Narrows exactly at slack. Not a single boat was to be seen. The ebb tide and southerly wind gave us a fantastic 8 hour ride averaging 9 knots all the way. Since conditions were so wonderful we passed possible anchorages of Thurston Bay and Port Neville pulling in at Port Harvey for the night. It was without a doubt the best voyage on Johnstone that we have experienced in the past! Snow capped mountains lined the inside passage. Black fins of the porpoises would occasionally break the surface as they fed at the many inlet entrances that we passed.
