Sky was grey, wind was calm. Slack tide (or damn close) for Dodd's Narrows.

I snuggled up to shore on the East side of Birdseye Cove. It's deep. So I had to get close to shore to drop the hook.

I kept worryinig about drifting and going up on the shore because it was only about 50 feet away.

As it turns out, I needn't worry. I almost couldn't free the anchor upon departure.

I never left the boat. Arrived yesterday at noon and left this morning just after 6 as Sea Cruise 2020 continues. I was done (for some reason).

The voyage home was uneventful. Scattered showers, moderately rough in Haro Strait.

Check out the video of my trip.
