August 28, Effingham Bay

Another short trip today, only about 11.5 miles but that was the long route. We sailed for a short time today, as we had about 12 knot wind on a beam reach (90 degrees to port). Able to obtain 5.5 to 6 knots in the wind with the sails reefed down. Cloudy all day and thus cold. Some rain showers from time to time. This is a nice bay with some small fingers in it. We are sharing one of the fingers with another sailboat. Talked to some sailors on another Hallberg-Rassy sailboat today. They have taken 3 months to get around Vancouver Island. It sure would be nice to have that much time off. Plan on another very short trip tomorrow. Will be going over to Dodger Channel about 6 miles away.

Current Conditions: Temp 58, Wind 0 kts, Skies clouds with showers, Depth 37'

Current Position: 48.52.436N 125.18.295W
