Well, it isn’t raining this morning, at the moment. We’ve decided to head south to Captain Cove, off Petrel Channel. We threaded our way back out through all the rocks just fine, but when we got to Edye Passage, we could see a big fog bank about a mile away, right in the direction where we were headed. So, Al throttled back and fired up the radar. With the AIS we could see a boat right behind us, called “Blue C’s”, traveling about 2 knots faster than we were. We kept watching him get closer and closer. Finally, he called us on the VHF. He asked us where we were headed and said he would stay well to port of us. That was comforting.

The fog lasted for about an hour and a half, with zero visibility at times. I was glad when the sun finally burned through just before we got to the Lawyer Islands. After that it was smooth sailing all the way to Captain Cove. I took this photo as we were turning in to Petrel Channel.

Shortly after dinner, we spotted porpoise feeding just off our transom. They were camera shy, unfortunately, but maybe they’ll be back for another visit.
