August 7 - Corney Inlet to Oliver Cove (Provincial Marine Park on PortBlackney Island)

The day started with very calm conditions for having to go through Meyers Narrows. We moved slowly, with depths as low as 4 metres.  We need a minimum of 2.5 meters for our boat, (now that Mae has loaded Wild Abandon down with more stuff than anyone thought could fit on a 30’ sailboat.)  Phew, we made it through and thank goodness it wasn’t a zero tide.   As Marty maneuvered carefully, we could see kelp all around, (a sign of shallows and rocks underwater).





A beautiful calm morning but later that day, the wind picked up.  Unfortunately, the wind was on our nose and it was difficult to set sail.


Sugar helped to steer the boat (auto-pilot)


Sugar enjoys being at the bow of the dinghy just as much as Rose.
