We left Bremerton Monday morning and went to Oak Harbor -55 miles. Took 4 hrs. and it was a nice trip calm and sunny. It is a public marina and poorly managed but it is a good resting stop. That evening Gene and Martha on Even Tide came into port and it was fun to visit with them. They are in our club and live on board at the Bremerton yatch club.

Morning was fog! we left anyway with the radar and gps, it was ok, and we could see for 1/4 mile or so.

We had timed the trip for slack water at Desception Pass since that can be trecherous whenthe currents build. It was fogged in also,and i considered stopping in Coronet Bay, but unfortunately proceeded on. It was very scary! We finally got thru the pass into open water just off the Strraits of Juan De Fuca and had to cross Roario Straits in this fog and huge rollong water off the beam. Merlyn was great getting me thru the pass and handled the rolling pretty well. Lexi shiverred most of the way.

The fog let up and we got to Roche about 11 am, 5 hrs. We stayed 2 days and the weather was beautiful. some pics attached.

Thursday we headed for Montegue Harbor - 26 miles. We got 203 gallons of fuel for only $1250.00!!! Customs was to check us in and i had tied to the fuel dock 15 min. too soon so had to wait and the dock master did not want me on that dock --he just wanted to sell fuel! So. ibought some. No customs showed up. The dock master said that is usual. OK by me!!

Mor good weather stayed 2 days and we the headed for Naniamo timed for Dodd Narrows for slack water. Very calm all the way. I plan to leave tomorrow Sunday for across the Straits of Georgia if the weather stays calm like this. We hace a lot of shopping to do here first. If we do not go, then the weather is predicted to be windy and we will stay here. That is ok too.
