Arrived Blind Channel at 1600 hrs. We enjoyed a smooth run through Seymour Narrows even sharing the passage with a tug and large tow. Correspondence with the tug captain via VHF CH16 made certain we both knew the other's intentions. A blustery run to Johnstone Strait in 20 knot winds on our nose made for a bit slower journey than expected but with favorable ebbing tide we kept over 6 knots of pace. Wind grew to 25 knots as we approached Ripple Point (big ripples) and we ducked into Blind Channel for a quick run the the BC Resort. We are at the dock now for the night. Already took a short hike to an 800 year old cedar tree and noticed some relatively fresh bear scat on our return. We finished the hike with eyes more up than on the trail and amused ourselves with talk of dinner, both ours and the bears.
