Sunday, May 18 Blind Channel Resort to Port Harvey Marine Resort 3 ½ hours 35 miles



We had wind up to 25 kts and 1’chop on Johnstone Strait today.   We had the current with us though we actually achieved 15 kts over the ground (9 kts through the water) through Race Passage.

As we neared Havannah Channel we had to pass through an enormous field of logs.  We definitely had to be on our toes here. Port Harvey is a long bay with the marina at the head.  There are logging operations along the shore which are very unsightly.  If we didn’t like George and Gail who run the marina we might not stop here.   http://portharvey.blogspot.ca/  Of course when I passed the line through the bull rail to tie up when we landed I managed to put it through a rotten piece of wood that pulled up and caught our line in the screws under it.   George came down to help release the line.  We are the only ones on the dock but George & Gail came to say hello. The Red Shoe Restaurant isn’t open yet but we had a nice visit.   
The Port Harvey Yacht Club is now open for membership and we are charter members at #20 & #21.  We purchased the burgee and may display it at some point.  
 George is a great baker and we ordered six cinnamon rolls for morning to take with us when we leave
