SV Ultegra's Most Excellent Adventure: First Milestone

After spending a couple nights in the Copeland Island (a wonderful kayaking area), crabbing on Cortes Island and a stop in Campbell River for provisioning, we ventured into new waters. Entering Seymour Narrows in Johnstone Strait really felt like a milestone, it marked moving from familiar cruising waters to truly beginning our journey. The winds and currents in Johnstone Strait can be very strong so we are paying close attention to the current/tide tables. The night before we went through the Narrows on slack tide the current was running 13 kts. against us!
