Slept in a bit this morning but got underway by 9:00am. Not a breath of wind inside Fury Cove but it was blowing a bit once we got into Fitz Hugh Sound. We purposely went slow so that we could make some water and charge up the batteries.

We arrived in front of the Hakai Institute and anchored. We felt a little close to another boat so we re-anchored in a better place. It was blowing quite a bit still even though the Bay is protected. The Hakai Institute offers free WiFi to boaters that come to visit, using their satellite internet system. Which I think is mighty generous. They limit the data but that's fine and understandable. So we downloaded the weather and looked at a couple of emails from the boat after lunch. They also offer a place to tie up dingy's on their dock, and a path through to the marine park. So we ventured off to take Bella for a walk.

The big wide sand beach is a nice place for a blind dog to take a walk, so we enjoy taking her there. It still takes forever for her to get anywhere, but at least she can do it eventually. We walked to the north end where it was protected from the wind and sat and took in the view. Some other folks from Victoria came back from their walk to North Beach and we had a nice chat.

Back to the boat to make salsa and check the wind status. Still gusting a lot in the protected bay.
