My route

Slayed a dragon by transiting Baynes Channel and setting sail in Haro Strait before returning to familiar waters.

I buzzed Willow's Beach during the Oak Bay tea party before returning to anchor.

SW 15. Beautiful sail! Started chart plotter track while still under power, just off Ten Mile Point so the following numbers are a little skewed:

  • distance: 8.8 NM
  • Total time: 2H 17'
  • Average speed: 3.8 kts
  • Max speed: 7.4 kts

Water alarm sounded when I started engine to drop sails. Alarm continued until engine shut-off. Water was still coming out the tail pipe.

Returned to boat Sunday evening and no alarm. Spoke with Tom aboat it. He suggested it may be a loose wire or something.
