Did not get far today. Left Montegue at 1100 and cruised slowly north to Gabriola pass. Needed slack tide to pass through and that was at 1:50. Made it through without any difficulty and stopped at Silva Bay. Decided to stay at Silva bay today because the candadian weather service was reporting "an intense low pressure system will cross Vancouver Island this afternoon bringing strong to gail force winds south east of Nanaimo. Well that is where we would be in early afternoon if we continued across the straits so we decided to stay on this side today and see what Saturday brings.
Three hours later the water in the strait is still flat calm and we would have been safely on the other side but better safe than live with a ticked off wife in a 43 foot boat.
No more boat issues today, things went well except that I cannot email from my account or read emails. I can access web sites, download weather, blog, read chris's email but I cannot get any of my mail. Kind of frustrating and it dosn't seem to make any sense. Not sure if it is on my end or Yahoo's end. Oh well.
Send emails to both Chris and I and between the two of us we may be able to read them.
My nextel no longer works. Chris ordered a special nextel account that was supposed to allow her phone to work in Canada but it is not working either. Not sure why were worried about not being able to talk to people, were supposed to be on vacation and out of reach aren't we?
Today was a beautiful day. Woke to blue sky and flat water. Clouded up today and we are expecting rain by tomorrow morning.
