Port Neville

I departed Alert Bay this morning just a little before 9 am. No rush, as I wanted to pick up the flood current, as it would give me a little push, and it didn’t start until just after 9. Ran in Johnstone Strait today, and it was relatively calm most the way. Later this afternoon the winds picked up some, so got a little chop, but still relatively nice for Johnstone Strait’s reputation. Five miles after leaving Alert Bay, I detoured into Telegraph Cove. I launched from there in 2018 to cruise around the Broughtons. They had a very nice whale museum, however lost it to a fire several years ago. Looks like they have replaced that pier, and are working on a new museum. There was very little activity in the marina, with only a half dozen boats at most. I think they have done more in developing their RV park rather than building up the marina. It is fairly tight in there, and best suited for small boats. I overtook one tug towing a log boom only going 1mph. Then passed another one that was running 3mph. They tow the logs pretty slow. A number of larger trawlers and yachts going north. This afternoon I am docked at Port Neville. We were here on our way north. I’m at the free dock again.Okumaya devam et
