This means we are crossing the Strait of Georgia. It’s an interesting body of water already in the Inside Passage. It runs between the main land and the Island of Vancouver. The cruise ships that go to Alaska from Seattle go in this waters of the Inside Passage because it’s more protected.

We were only able to sail half way and the other half motor in calm wind and blue sky. I felt good thinking that the water was not rough for Elizabeth’s comfort. Sailors have to time when leaving the Gulf Islands and entering the Strait of Georgia. The narrow channels on the way carry lots of current and whirlpools. But, in today’s world, an app does all the calculations for you to know when it’s a good time. Williwaw also has the AIS (Automatic Identification System) which allows me to know if there are any ferries crossing coming in the opposite direction.
