Well rested from the night at Spout Islets, Austin brings us through the mixed and strong currents swirling around Stubbs island en route to Port McNeil amid the driving rain. Earlier in the morning we were treated to the bow riding antics of five very enthusiastic Dall porpoises. Their leaps and dives persisted for more than a half hour.

At Port McNeil we will resupply, top off our water and head toward the Broughton's Waddington Bay on Bonwick Island. Mixed showers and sunbreaks are predicted.
