We cruised down from Pendrell Sound to Prudeaux Haven, probably the most popular spot in Desolation Sound for boaters. It is nice but the water is not as warm or as clean as in Pendrell Sound. We spent the day kayaking, dropped the shrimp pot, x our fingers and hope we do better.
Weather is changing. Looks like several days of big winds so not sure if we will make it south of Lund till that all changes. We could be in a worse place for the weather to go bad on us so we will just wait and see.
Probably will not be able to meet up with Sherm and Nancy now down around smugglers cove since we would have to make the full run tomorrow and that is not likely. The weather and water was simply too warm to leave up here any sooner.
We will stop in Lund tomorrow weather permitting and reprovision and fill up with water. Tuesday we may try to sneak as far as Powell River and then if there is a weather window scoot down to Pender Harbor and wait for the right wind conditions to cross the Straits to the gulf Islands.
