Again, we find ourselves traveling large distances to make very little progress.
We left Port Harvey this morning, motored for 15 miles, around East Crancroft Island, through Chatham Channel (another of those tricky, slack-time only passes), and continued around East Crancroft Island, then looped abound Minstrel Island to finally anchor in Lagoon Cove. Total actual distance from Port Harvey is just over 2 miles.
The weather lately is just not what we were expecting - it is cool and overcast much of the time, temperatures falling to about 14 at night and maybe getting close to 20 at the heat of the day - we had some rain but nothing serious. We are so looking forward to finding a nice sheltered anchorage somewhere, with the sun shining down, where we can spend some quality down time. For now, I guess we will keep on pressing onward in search of our Xanadu. We are actually considering paying to stay at a marine resort somewhere, just to have some company - most of the boats we see up here are power boats, and they rarely seem to anchor out - they just move from one marina to the next, enjoying pot-luck suppers with the same people at each stop - not usually our scene, but they do seem to have fun.
