We left the Khutze Inlet anchorage early (5:30am-early) to beat the increasing winds that were forecast. Conditions were calm calm calm.

By the time we reached Whale Passage and Wright Sound, the wind had picked up a bit (10-20kts from the NW) and we had about a one foot chop. Quite pleasant! Additionally, we think every single boat at one point had Dall's porpoises surfing their bow. (That must really be fun for them, because they do it a lot!)

Once we entered the south end of Grenville Channel, we were met with a bit of current against us, but hey...at least it's not gray and raining too! We'll take it!

We're all anchored now in Lowe Inlet, the weather is lovely, and everyone is happy. Dinghy exploring, relaxing on board, and then dinner on our own tonight.
