We went from Port McNeill to Bull Harbour on Friday June 27th. The trip is about 40 miles. So it was a long day of travelling.
Anchored up just off Bull Harbour was the big sea lice cleaning ship. There are a couple of fish farms in the area.
So maybe farm fish is not the best if a very expensive ship is needed just to clean the sea lice off the fish ? Food for thought.
The timing for the tides to travel around Nahwitti Bar and Cape Scott were not great. So we were anchored up in Bull Harbour without a plan as to when we would travel around Cape Scott.
Saturday morning we decided the winds and weather were favourable and we would catch the 9:30 am slack water and the ebb turning to flood. Although that would be a long travel day and the risk of afternoon winds.
It was a long day. We were at times beating a big tide and traveling less than 4 knots. We didn’t get into Winter Harbour until 5:30 pm.
I had medicated Lilly but once we got into the 1 to 1.5 metre swells she vomited. Poor thing. But mostly she slept.
With her back to me most of the day. Probably pretty annoyed we are making her do this again !
We got into Winter Harbour and tied up at the dock.
It was nice to be back here. We went for a lovely evening walk along the boardwalk
There is only one other boat at the dock that is not a fishing boat.
Jim took a photo with the flag flapping to send to Global National. For Canada Day. We will see if it makes the news!
There is a Fish Fry tonight at the Winter Harbour RV park. So we are looking forward to that !
