Before leaving Prince Rupert today I need to fill up fuel
and buy some apples at the grocery store.
With only about 30 nm to go, I’m not in any rush. I like this schedule already!
I wandered up to the Safeway soon after waking up, then came
back to the boat and ate breakfast, then headed over to the fuel dock and
filled up. Then I was off for Kumealon
Island Cove in Grenville Channel.
The water wasn’t as calm as yesterday evening, but it wasn’t
bad. A bit rolly near the entrance to
Prince Rupert Harbour. Then a 15 knot
north wind in Grenville Channel created a short and steep following sea. The autopilot worked hard, but kept the boat
more or less on course.
With cloudy weather today I couldn’t see a whole lot. It didn’t rain much, but it wasn’t conducive
to photography or viewing of landscapes.
Kumealon Island Cove is a decent anchorage. Not terrible scenic, but strategically
located and adequate holding. I wanted
to go for a kayak ride, but it was still blowing 15 knots or so in the
anchorage, which would result in a wet kayak ride. Oh well, I’ll have plenty more opportunities.
