There was no wind today, of course. So I couldn’t make up for yesterday in terms of sailing time. The journey from Galiano Island was uneventful but fast. We made it in under 3 hours. That’s what a clean bottom will do for you.

Ruxton Island 11:49

A poor sleep was had by both Barnucka and I. Same conditions as the last time I anchored here. Very bumpy all night. Wind is out of the North, there is a strong wind warning posted for Georgia Strait.

Looks like it’s flooding until 16:30 so we can transit Dodd’s Narrows at any time before that. I woldn’t mind staying her another night but not if it’s going to be this rough.

Rolled out of the sack at 11:00. Having coffee and catching up on my log.

We broke out the beer shortly after arriving and the situation devolved until I kicked B man out. Potluck dinner. B man brought curried chicken and I fried up a batch of KFC.

Despite getting carried away last night, and both having crappy sleeps, we managed to redeem ourselves. We got lost on Ruxton Island, but 13000 steps later I managed to find my way back to Herring Bay and Trouper 2. Ruxton is a beautiful Island. I had never walked it before.

After working up a sweat, I returned to T2, gathered my bathing trunks and rowed to the sandstone point where I bathed. It was luxurious but cold.

I returned to T2, and napped in the hammock until Barnuck and Mickey (a friend of B’s who lives on Ruxton) arrived back on Inkla. I’m going to crack a cold one and return to the hammock. Life.
