Salt Spring Island to Secret Cove

We spent the last week provisioning our Cutwater 28 for a trip up to the Broughton Archipelago north of Vancouver Island. We'll be joining up with two more, possibly three more, boats for this adventure.

We were scheduled to leave tomorrow but the wind is predicted to pick up so we left this afternoon to get across the Strait of Georgia while it's still calm.

We left Salt Spring Island at about 3:15 pm and set our course for Secret Cove Marina on the Sunshine Coast. We went out into the Strait through Porlier Pass. We chose to cross the Strait as quickly as we could and cruised over at about 16 knots. We can tell our boat is very loaded down and, once again, I may have packed too much!! The trip was uneventful and we arrived at Secret Cove at about 6:15 pm.

The marina was quiet with many empty slips as it is still not high season. We got settled, had our supper, and then I had a very early night.Read more
