Lots of motoring, very little wind, lots of rain, and almost no other boats. Anchored in some very remote places this past week! The Hecate Strait was extremely sedate during our crossing, which is a lot better than its difficult reputation, so we didn't hate motoring across instead of being able to sail.

Spent three nights off-grid in the beautiful Spider Anchorage before heading to Bella Bella for a few days to resupply and do laundry before we continue heading north into even more remote areas. We've now been cruisers for 2 months!

Two beautiful days of cruising with some sailing and some motoring. Got around the notorious Cape Caution without issue and decided to skip our intended Thursday evening anchorage and go all the way to the Hakai Institute in Pruth Bay. Saw sea otters and even a humpback!

12-16kn at our backs made for a nice quiet hour

Super calm day on Johnstone Strait, so we took advantage of it and motored to Alert Bay

Two pretty chill days of motoring with little wind except when it was 15-20kn in our face. Anchored in Charles Bay the first night, now we're securely anchored in Port Neville.

We saw a lot of boats fishing just outside the entrance to Discovery Passage, decided to slow down and drop our salmon trolling rigs in the water, and *immediately* caught two salmon!

Didn't catch anything but I hooked one and got it near the boat before I accidentally let the line slack and it got away.

While the riggers work on our furling mechanism at their shop, we're going to relax.

Motored (and motorsailed) back to Comox on an day that got increasingly sunny. Getting some help from Blanchard Rigging tomorrow to replace bearings in our mast furling mechanism.
