Foggy and calm this morning as we left around 8:45. We were heading to "somewhere" in Fish Egg Inlet. We headed down Lama Passage and out into Fitz Hugh Sound. We could see many many boats on AIS heading into Fury Cove to prepare to cross tomorrow. So we were even more desirous of *not* going there. Visibility was down to 1/8 mile in a few places, but in general it was fine. We took a detour to look at Namu on the way down as well. We need a new acronym - YARDC - "Yet Another Run Down Cannery". This one was was also falling apart.

Fitz Hugh was a little choppy in places, like passing Hakai Passage, but not too bad. We decided to check out Greene Island Anchorage as it was close for getting out into the sound, and wasn't too squeaky to get out of if it was socked in with fog in the morning. It turns out it was a lovely cozy anchorage and the sun came out just after we arrived. We hopped in the dingy's and went touring around all the little channels. Then Greg and Byron went fishing for about an hour, but alas, nothing caught. Back to Spellbound for salmon dinner, and an early night.

We decide to leave tomorrow morning around 6:30am and head for Clam Cove. I mention that the recommendation is to round Cape Caution on the flood, which would mean leaving 1.5 hours or so later. But I was over ruled.
