Aug. 2. It was a quiet night moored at one of 4 DFO (Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans) mooring buoys, with one other small motor boat. I was a little worried about the shallowness in the cove but we still had about 14 feet of water under us at low tide, even though the charts […]

Aug.5. Now; it sure is still dark at 5 am. At the end of June at Glacier Bay Alaska it was light by 2am. Where does the time go? I double checked the tides and then the marine forecasts and what was happening out the window. It looked good to go. Pi out for a

Aug.1. It was an easy 2.5 hour motor and we were tied up to the Port Hardy City Dock by 10:30am. It being prime time for boating we wanted to get in early to grab a spot as others left. It turned out not to be as big an issue as we had thought. There

July 31. It was another rainy day but the winds were not too bad or predicted to be worse than about 5 or 10 knots in Queen Charlotte Strait. The rain was supposed to abate later in the day. We decided to get a 6 am start and had the tide with us for the
