2018 CRUISE

This year we started by heading to Gabriola Island, but the winds were over 25 knots and right on the nose.  We tried motor sailing in the rough seas, but the engine immediately started to sag.  We were headed for Silva Bay and the entry is not the place to have no engine power in high winds.  We opted instead to turn the boat south and went into a broad reach headed for Active Pass.  We would only attempt it if we got there in time for slack tide.  We did make it, got through and picked up a mooring ball in Montague Harbour.  We were there for 2 nights, then motored over (slowly as we could only get 1200 RPM out of the engine) to Ganges Harbour.  We managed to get the Racor filter changed there and picked up some spares when we got to Sidney.
