Millbrook Cove to Blunden Harbour

We awoke to fog. That was not in the forecast!

We picked today to go around Cape Caution because forecasted sea state was the calmest we’ve seen for weeks.

The blessing with fog is that with fog comes calm seas. We left right behind the Outer Reef we followed in yesterday. It did not take long before he disappeared from sight. In fact, the first two hours of our trip were in fog with visibility of 1 mile to much less. I kept finding small, go- fast targets on the radar with no AIS and Karen kept a sharp eye to see them if she could. Sometimes even if they were 1/8 mile away, there was no joy. The seas were calm, though, with ripples and less than one foot swell.

not much to see in the fog, even as the sun makes an attempt to burn it off

Even after we left the fog on our stern, the seas remained almost flat, improving as we made our way south.

We passed our good friends aboard Alaskan Dream (OceanFlyer’s sister ship) as we were both abeam Cape Caution. They were heading north for their annual fishing trip, towing their Grady White. We exchanged greetings on the VHF but never saw them in the fog.

We entered Blunden, passing a large farmed-fish transport vessel anchored just outside the entry. Blunden looked just like last time: sunny, windy and whitecapped. We enjoyed a peaceful afternoon relaxing.
