We were up early in order to make slack at Dodd Narrows at 0754 hrs. There’s a neap tide today, so the current wasn’t all that strong. We got through the Narrows a little early and made good time all the way to Hunter Bay, where we anchored for the night. Although we had plenty of daylight left when we reached Hunter, we couldn’t continue on, because the wind was blowing too hard to get across Juan de Fuca Strait; and we couldn’t make slack tide at Deception Pass.  Luckily the ice chest is still keeping everything cold.

This afternoon, Al discovered that the alternator on the starboard engine, which charges our house batteries, had quit working. So, in order to conserve electricity, we went to bed when the sun went down.
