Friday, May 23 Port McNeill to Allison Harbour 44 miles 4 hours

We have been waiting for some good weather to cross around Cape Caution but the winds are still howling.  The weather buoy that is the most important at this time, West Sea Otter, is "not working".  It is a gloomy day but we are heading out across Queen Charlotte Strait to Allison Harbour.    We had winds from 5-20 mph and big rollers coming in from Queen Charlotte Sound.  It was 1' - 3' but not uncomfortable at all.  Allison Harbour is just south of Cape Caution and a good place to wait out the weather.
