We are officially off! After a busy 4 days to drive up from CA, ready the Kenji Maru to our satisfaction, and prepare a few meals to freeze to take with us, we were finally off!
Left Anacortes at 10:28 a.m. in breezy but sunny conditions. We quickly found ourselves in a fog bank and in 3 foot confused seas with intermittent 4-5 foot waves crossing Rosario Straits. Sure glad Don paid attention to Captain Mac during our boat orientation and knew how to use the radar!
After passing through the San Juan Islands [no pictures available as the Admiral was busy trying not to lose her cookies] and crossing Haro Strait, we cleared Canadian customs in Sidney, B. C. at 1:48 p.m.
