Saturday, May 24 Allison Harbour to Shearwater Marina 89 miles 8 1/4 hours

The first thing Fred did this morning was to pick up the crab pots.  We only had one small one so it was given it's freedom.  We had a nice mixture of weather as we head north around Cape Caution today.  As you can see from the map we are going to experience open ocean as we cross through Queen Charlotte Sound.  We had 3' to 4' rollers coming in but we were able to find a comfortable point of sail.  Our auto pilot doesn't handle these sort of seas well and Fred had to handle the boat all the way around Cape Caution until we reached the protected waters of Fitzhugh Sound.  Since the weather was good we made it a long day and reached Shearwater Marina.  This is a nice little village with fuel, groceries, laundromat, and a restaurant.  Therefore they charge $1.50/night!  We are only staying one night but we did have a nice dinner in the restaurant.  We ran into Chris & Mike off of Aqua Therapy again.
