We pulled anchor in the rain, which seems to be our usual situation. We still had no cell coverage or internet, so no point in leisurely having a second cup of coffee, as we couldn’t linger over the e-newspaper.
We continued south on the Grenville Channel with rain and fog on and off. All in all, a pretty mundane day. Our tentative destination for the day was Butedale, although we, half-heartedly, thought we might get further. Butedale, as you may recall, is the abandoned cannery town which has a dock and the caretaker welcomes cruisers to stop by. We did end up stopping there, since the wind came up in Fraser Reach and we got tired hitting into the waves. There were some gorgeous waterfall along the way, however. There ended up being four cruising boats at the dock - three Nordic Tugs and a Hans-Christian trawler. A very classic-looking lineup of boats.
The wind died down a bit and everyone was invited over to one of the boats for happy hour at 5. I had an hour or so before then, so put the dinghy down and headed over to the same spot I caught a nice fish when we were here last time. This time I caught four (including one very large one) in about 20 minutes before I went back to the boat to clean them and get ready for happy hour. Those fish will provide for at least three meals, including dinner tonight, steamed in parchment with tomato, vegetables and cilantro. Mmmm!
