I spent two nights at anchor, off Galiano Island while the smoke continued to build, obscuring everything. Not wanting to breath the smoke, I retired below deck to consider my options. Kevin wouldn't be available for another two days and wanted to meet up at Pirate's Cove. That's another 6 hours motoring in near zero visibility. What would you do? I decided to haul anchor and head for Cadboro Bay!

I couldn't see anything and the smoke just seemed to get thicker the farther South I travelled. I was worried about meeting up with a BC Ferry so I turned on my 'Marine Traffic' app so I could see all ships in the area with AIS. Brilliant.

It was a quick trip with the ebb tide. Visibility was near zero as I passed Zero Rock. I could see it on the chart plotter but I motored right past it and could not pick it out.

Very disorienting.
