We were up before sunrise to get under way for a nearly 90nm day. Today we have few weather concerns (whew, that's nice for a change!), no hazardous currents, and beautiful scenery. And after today, we're just one day from Alaska!
Today's cruise is particularly scenic.
There's been surprisingly little traffic of any type since the Gulf Islands. Normally we see cruise ships, ferries (BC and Alaska), tugs and barges, fish boats, and pleasure boats along the Central BC coast. This year, we've seen just one Canadian pleasure boat, a few ferries, a single tug and barge, and a handful of fish boats. We've also seen a few other US pleasure boats transiting to Alaska.
We passed the southbound Western Titan in front of Butedale, and they were kind enough to call us on the radio and warn of us substantial logs in the water ahead.
