We finally were ready to start our adventure around Vancouver Island! Intentions were initially just to get get out of the basin but we would have had to wait another 24 hours to make the next passage due to the current from the tide. So instead we headed straight out and around to this anchorage. Initially setting the main sail, we decided to only have a reefed Genoa as the main was too strong and heeled us over way too much out of our comfort zone! It was a spicy experience for us at parts but already we have learnt so much and looking forward to learning more as we go!
