July 2-3, 2015

July 2-3rd: Still anchored off Ucluelet Small Craft Harbor. We have our first red rock crabs of the season and will have them for dinner. Small fixits ongoing on the boat. We are refining the anchor chain locker. Carl and Jim worked it over before we left and we are hoping with a few adjustments to get the chain to feed more smoothly. We have pumped out, fueled up and will depart early tomorrow for Hot Springs Cove. Weather window should allow us to tuck in there for a few days. Hopefully by Monday the winds will subside around Estevan Point and allow us to scoot up into Nootka Sound. We are not sure we will have any communication after tomorrow. Thank goodness for weather broadcasts over VHF radio. For today it is off to town to buy an extra water pump belt and take in the Friday Ukee Market. Happy and Safe 4^th of July to everyone! Until next time….
