We were able to have a more leisurely departure this morning as the trip across Queen Charlotte Strait to the town of Port McNeill is a short one. Several of the boats need to refuel, and if provisions are running low, Port McNeill is the place to take care of both needs. However, as we left Blunden Harbour, we immediately entered into the fog. This area is a very busy shipping channel, so we needed to pay close attention to our radars (and for those boats equipped with it, AIS). As the fog lifted, we were treated to the sight of some Dall’s Porpoises arching sleekly along in the calm water.
We got into Port McNeill and found our slips waiting for us at Steve Jackman’s Port McNeill Fuel Dock and Marina, along with helpful dockhands (Thanks, Steve!) After settling in there was time to explore the town, and choose a place to dine out for dinner. A pleasant evening ended with an amazing fire-y sunset.
