We had desiccated to go to Nanaimo for the Labour Day Long Weekend. Alas, the winds were 33 KNOTS at the sand heads which is the point that the Georgia Strait goes from deep water to shallow. With flow of tide and current against wind, you can plan on steep short wave seas that is horrendous to blow through. Knowing what we were failing, and not having a lot of flexibility, we decided that discretion was the better part of valour and we stayed put. Just as well as I ended up with th nasty cough and a fever which meant the whole weekend was spent in my bunk.
