Once again we poked our nose out into Queen Charlotte Strait. There was still plenty of chop but unlike last time, today the UGRIB weather forecast was calling for diminishing winds as the day progressed and we decided to press on. In all of the navigation books on board with all their words of wisdom about when and how to round Cape Caution, none address making the trip across the largest and most notorious expanse of open water on the Inside Passage on Friday the 13th! Feeling lucky and not the least bit superstitious, we threw salt over our left shoulder, crossed our fingers and charted a course to cross Queen Charlotte Sound, round Cape Caution and travel up Fitz Hugh Sound to a little safe harbor called Kwakume Inlet. With a long day and an open ocean crossing behind us we were relieved to drop anchor for the night and admire the view.
