On August 19th, we left Campbell River at 5:30 a.m. to catch the ebbing tide through Seymour Narrows. As we made our way north along Discovery Passage, the wind picked up on our nose. Then the tide switched and we were going against wind and tide. Our first choice for anchorage was not good as the wind and tide were beating into the bay. The wind continued to pick up and the seas were rough. We were only traveling around 2 to 3 knots. We docked around 12:30 pm. We ended up in the next bay, Knox Bay, which was perfect as it had a small dock just our size.
The next best time to get underway to our next destination was not until early in the afternoon the next day. Knox Bay was used as a forestry sight, which was not active due to the extreme dry conditions. Marty walked the trails to check out the area and did not see a lot of wildlife.
