We have to get through Dent Rapids and the Yukulta Rapids this morning. Fortunately, we have a neap tide, so they shouldn’t be too nasty. But, just to be safe, we’ll be going through at slack tide.

We got to Dent Rapids a little early, but the current is only 1 knot, so we go on through without any problem. When we get to Yuculta Rapids we’re a bit early also, but they aren’t too bad either. About the time we get through Yuculta, the rain starts pouring, like a monsoon! The wind has started building and is blowing behind us. We have a following sea now, which makes steering more difficult, but the seas aren’t that big, so Al is able to manage without too much problem.

By the time we get to Squirrel, the rain has stopped and the sun is out. Crazy weather. I notice the leaves are starting to turn here also.

It’s supposed to blow 30 knots out of the northwest tonight, so we’re glad to be anchored snug in Squirrel Cove.
