Not much wind today and we had to motor through French Pass anyway so just motored and juiced up the batteries. French Pass was a little nerve wracking as current can be at 8 knots and navigable channel is less than 100 meters wide… we timed it at slack and was all smooth! Nice stop off at a quiet little bay tonight before we continue to Nelson.
