Shearwater to Alexander Island May 19, 2013
We headed out of
Shearwater about 9:30 for our cruise to Alexander Inlet. Travelling NW thru Seaforth Channel was quite lumpy today – about 3 – 5
foot seas until we got to Ivory Island and headed north thru Reid Channel
between Cecilia Island and Don Peninsula.
A beautiful passage and it is sunny but cold – 59 degrees! On past Lady
Douglas and Lake Island thru Mathieson Channel which has places 1000 feet
deep. Next we cut thru Jackson Passage
to Finlayson channel. Jackson Passage was at low tide so it was very narrow and
we got as low as 10 ft depth.
A couple of us
went on the inside of Cone Island to pass by Klemtu –home to the Kitasoo and
Xai’xais tribes. We had cell coverage
there so took the opportunity to call the boys , my mom and our neighbors Allen
and Sue. Now we are on our way to
towards Tolmie Channel and our stop for the night at Alexander Inlet. We cruised for about 6 hours today.
