We wanted to be out of Campbell River as soon as it was light as it's a long way to Boho Bay and we want to get there while it's still light - and we still had Discovery Passage currents to deal with (Campbell River Marina is accessed via Discovery Passage).
Oh, did I mention the fisherman's boat slalom that happens at the point where Discovery Passage meets the Georgia Straight? yeah, they seem to like getting up at the crazy hours of the morning, unless they actually just slept there.
Once clear of them however, it's the relatively open waters of the northern Georgia Strait until we get to the last bit between Texada and Lasquetti islands, and then it's a hop, skip, and a jump to Boho Bay.
Dinner was a reprise of the Beef Stew that Rod had made on the way out, though this time with a unique twist courtesy of yours truly. That's the polite way of saying I added a few more red pepper flakes than the recipe calls for. On the other hand, I liked the taste of it. Fortunately so did the captain, so I haven't had to walk the plank.
The mosquitoes drove us into the cabin with the salon buttoned up tight other than the companionway, which was guarded by a mosquito coil going.
Tomorrow will be a trip through the infamous Dodd Narrows, almost as infamous as Seymour Narrows (which we didn't get to this trip).
