FROM ROSE HARBOR TO PRUTH BAY ONTO DUNCANBY LANDING JULY 26TH 7 27TH

We returned to Rose Harbor to prepare for our voyage across Hecate Strait and on to Pruth Bay. We checked all of our weather sources and it was a "GO". We departed at 7 PM and had calm winds and seas all through the night with a three quarter moon. Lou and I took four hour shifts at the wheel. At one point just before dark we encountered a group of Porpoise that were so busy feeding that they ignored us. Our passage was 120 miles and we arrived at our destination at 12 noon. After something to eat and a shower we took a long nap. We felt so fortunate to have had such a great passage. In the morning we departed for Duncanby Landing. Just before we reached beginning of Queen Charlotte Sound near Rivers Inlet we saw whales! They are so difficult to photograph but we enjoyed trying! Duncanby Landing was a welcomed sight. We did some much needed maintenance to the boats such as washing down the decks. We had a wonderful dinner at the restaurant and later that evening explored Goose Bay.
