Desolation Sound

We sailed from Sturt Bay to Squirrel Cove on Cortez Island on Thursday. We had a a short day, anchored by 15:30. A Halberg Rassey 42 "Vagrant" passed us around Savory Island and continued to Big Bay. We thought about it but were both tired and decided to keep with the original plan. This morning (Friday) we had a leisurely breakfast and upped anchor by 10:00 to head towards Gillard passage. We made excellent time and anchored in Francis Bay for lunch. I spent most of the day on various "boat" jobs while Cathy got us north. Around 16:00 we picked up the anchor and headed towards the Yuculta rapids. We were a bit early but pushed through anyways. Down to about a knot at 3600 RPM at one point but still moving forward. We tied up at the Government Dock for a buck a foot. Nothing left in Big Bay really. There is a small community store that is not yet open but the rest of the "services" have gone. It's all resorts now!
