We left Chapple inlet around 8 AM with a one foot tide. Boy the water was low!!
This is where we had the issue with the inaccurate chart and going very close to a reef the last time we left Chapple Inlet mSo we were pretty cautious. At least we knew where the reef was and could avoid it this time. But we didn't have a lot of water under the boat at times! I was on bow watch again. Jim did a marvellous job navigating us out of there.
We had another long day of 48 miles to our next stop of Klemtu. It's hard to believe we are working our way back home.
The trip to Klemtu was nice. The weather was good, no wind or rain.
The BC Ferry - Northern Expedition was at the terminal in Klemtu. It is a narrow pass in there and as soon as we passed the ferry it left the dock.
Jenny was happy to go to shore in Klemtu. She likes the little grassy area there. It s much bigger and more accessible than the shore at Chapple Inlet.
The following morning we continued to head south - next stop was Shearwater. We didn't go into Raven Cove as we had done on the way up.
When we got to Shearwater we dropped our anchor in Kliktsoatli Harbour just on the other side of the breakwater from the Shearwater Marina. We didn't need water or power so we decided not to tie up to the dock. We did take the dingy to shore and enjoyed a nice meal at the pub. We both had the Shearwater burger - which was very good!
There was a brass Quintet playing on the deck during the dinner hour - they were called "Fish on Five" or "Five on Fish" or something like that. Quite fun! It was a lovely warm and sunny evening on the deck.
