Day 60 - Prince Rupert to Kumealon Cove

We spent the morning looking at the weather and talking to various folks. Many were staying and many were heading south. Susan and Dan ended up heading south around 11:00. We met the folks from "Golden Days" who are in a group of 3 boats with "?? Patriot" and "Knight Star" from Delta. We have been following each other around since Lowe Inlet on the way up. Then "Cavok", a GB that we know from the rendezvous showed up on the outside of the breakwater in front of us. They were staying an extra night as well and got kicked out of their spot. We waffled back and forth for awhile and ended up leaving around 12:30 ourselves. We were surprised.
It was pretty windy and pretty rough as we headed around Holland Rock. But it was on our nose and it wasn't too much back and forth. About a Bella 2.5.
We arrived in Kumealon Cove about the same time as "Harmony" who had left first thing. Potest Fieri was already there and the Cove was lovely and glassy, so they asked if we wanted to raft to them so we did! We had some appy's and beers and talked and visited. We pooled our dinner resources (salmon and halibut) and Susan made a salad and we had a great dinner and a lovely evening. I even tried maple syrup flavored whiskey - maybe not a good idea.
