Since Bull Harbor is on Hope Island, across Goletas Channel from the Northern end of Vancouver Island, if you look to starboard as you leave you will see Nahwitti Bar. Although it looked very innocuous this morning, it was a calm deception. The wisest of skippers would consider all factors (current, weather, time of day etc.) before attempting this crossing.Once you cross the Nahwitti Bar you can cruise seaward to the Aleutian Islands.
No rain this morning but still a chilly 49 degrees and windy. We got under way after breakfast and stopped a few times to fish. We caught a few big fat Rock Fish, and Chris caught a small Ling Cod, but nothing we wanted to keep. (Except Max, that little fishing enthusiast wants to keep them all.)
Several Humpbacks, eagles, gulls and a pod of Harbor Porpoise fed near the boat while we fished.
