We appeared to have a weather window and made a long trek south down Georgia Straight, anchoring back at Otter Bay. It was about 12 hours and 7 of those were under motor. When we got to Otter Bay Terry had made the decision to not carry on.
Neil and I were gagging for a beer and Neil went "shopping" for beer on the docks and came back with 2 donated cans!...tasted great. We had a crew meeting; it didn't make sense to think about going offshore with only the three of us and as it turned out the weather window closed again so we would not have made it in any event.
Neil decided to join up with Leagh and her friends early rather than just putting in more time here. We will try to organize a short offshore trip before Hawaii so that Neil can confirm if he is comfortable being offshore/overnighting,etc.
We took all day Saturday following the wind to end up at Sydney spit to be in position to pick up Leagh and friends for a day sail on Sunday. Ralph agreed to stay for 2 days for my selfish purpose of getting more celestial training from him.
I'll post more later, but for all intents and purposes the "near Charlotte" trip mutated to "near offshore" to now being done! Sometimes the weather gods just don't cooperate.
