Well.... fall cruise 2019 is winding down. From those last pictures, I’ve anchored in Handfield Bay, off of Cameleon Harbour which is off of Nodales Channel. Very quiet and protected. From there, around the corner on Johnstone Strait and up Okisollo Channel, time the rapids and anchored in Octopus Islands. Then an early start to time Beazley Rapids onward towards Heriot Bay Inn. As we got closer to the Strait, I knew it would be worst than expected as the roll was already being felt a few miles up Hoskin Channel. I continued up past Dunsterville Island bit it was then obvious that it would be violent rolling after turning in towards a Heriot Bay so timed a 180 and retreated into the tiny anchorage behind Bold Island. Well worth it as it was a pleasant, calm evening and the next morning brought nearly flat calm headed into Heriot Bay. Boats and tight schedules don’t mix well.... I was thankful for the wait.
