Went through Greene Point and Whirlpool rapid today. Anchoring here in forward harbor for the night. We went for a short hike when we got here. Beautiful trail.

We also met people today (Barb and Willy) who have invited us to join in their little flotilla, around Cape Caution. We don’t know if timing will work out for us, but gosh what an amazing opportunity! That might be just exactly what we need to give us the confidence to go for it… To get north of Vancouver island!!

We need to talk about it and decide what we want to do and what our goals are.

But we’ll take them up on the offer to follow them through Johnstone Strait for sure! I’m intimidated by that.

Brian also spent much of today fixing our water maker. And he got it!!

He replaced the membranes that Rachel picked up in Bellingham with that rental car, and the water no longer has rotten egg smell! Woohoo! Now we can once again turn seawater into fresh water.
