Bamfield to Sooke Harbour is a long cruise–about 73nm. The forecast was wind light, becoming west 10-20 knots in the afternoon, with some fog. We left Bamfield at first light...about 5:30 a.m.
The sky (and thus, the water) turned bright pink as we headed out of Trevor Channel. Amazing!
We arrived in Sooke Harbour around 3:30 p.m. and anchored just inside Whiffin Spit. This anchorage is well protected from wind and waves, but most definitely not from the many MANY fishing boats that speed in and out of the harbour, paying little to no attention to wake etiquette around boats at anchor. Safe Harbour, Airship, and Waterford (the Nordic Tugs) all rafted together, and Mana Kai (the Kadey Krogen) anchored a short distance away.
