Foggy beginnings in Seymour Narrows

Billy&Lizzie

Yesterday we set off out of our anchorage into one of the most dangerous stretches of water! It was a calm start, albeit very eerie as the fog sat upon the channel. With large ships emerging from the fog as though out of no where, we set our AIS so others could see us. It was beautifully quiet with nothing but white faded around us. Once we anchored for the night in Otter Bay, we awoke in the AM to light rain, but visibility was clear, from there heading to our first stop of the day to wake for slack tide before continuing. Turning into West Humpback Bay we made use of the storm bouey as we were the only ones here and only stopping through the daytime- this saved us time setting anchor etc and was good practise as Lizzie’s first time hooking up a bouey to Moore. The su made an appearance whilst here, giving Billy a chance to check off a few projects on our list, before heading out again at 5:30pm towards Sayward! The tidal current en route was forever changing but it was good experience and both of us felt in safe hands in our Pearson. A few waves covering our bow, we are now safely anchored opposite Sayward, in Nichols Bay on the west tip of Hardwicke Island.
