I have yet to make it to Campbell River where we weren't fighting an adverse current - and the current can be quite strong here! During the trip to Alaska, Opus left the anchorage before Quijote and is also the faster boat. We got into Campbell River after only fighting a 3 or so knot current. Quijote, having left later than us and making slower progress, ended up coming into Campbell River quite a number of hours after us after slogging against the current for a few hours at something like 1 knot.
This time, though, we managed a low of about 3 knots up Discovery Passage and made it into Campbell River in right good time, whereupon we refueled and proceeded to our dock where we'll be for the next two nights.
Today is going to be laundry day for me. It will be nice to have fresh clothes, fresh bedding to sleep in. After that is going to be a restaurant meal and a small provisioning trip to the Canadian Superstore.
Well, the food at the restaurant was quite good, but the service was... It was almost like the waitress was actively avoiding us once we had our food - even when we wanted to pay our bill. Tomorrow we'll eat somewhere else.
