Fury Cove to Red Sand Beach
August 9 / Day 12
Heavy fog to low overcast, Winds calm
increasing to W @ 15 knots, Seas calm to swells at 1.5 meter with 2 foot
windwaves, Combined seas to 6 1/2 feet, moderate at times
Some days on the water are perfect and
some are less so. Sometimes those
less-so days deteriorate into downright sucky and no fun at all. Foggy days often fall into the less-so category
for me. On this day I would be crossing Rivers Inlet
and Smith Sound with a combined total of ~10 NM of open water. I delayed my departure until an hour into the
flood knowing that it would take me another 45 minutes to reach Karslake Point
where I would start across Rivers Inlet.
If it was to be a blind crossing I wanted to avoid currents that would
drift me out towards Queen Charlotte Sound but I hoped that the fog would lift
so I could see what I was doing.
