Heading into Seymour Narrows 

How do you like the Guest House? 

Just around Comox we started to have a bit of Starboard engine issue, we limped into Campbell River and changed out the Fuel Filter, the Netta Jean is back on track!

The Fog picked up going through Seymour Narrows, this is a channel notorious for wicked tides and currents.

Seymour Narrows is a 5 km (3.1 mi) section of the Discovery Passage in British Columbia known for strong tidal currents.[1] Discovery Passage lies between Vancouver Island at Menzies Bay, British Columbia and Quadra Island except at its northern end where the eastern shoreline is Sonora Island. The section known as Seymour Narrows begins about 18 km (11 mi) from the south end of Discovery Passage where it enters the Georgia Strait near Campbell River. For most of the length of the narrows, the channel is about 750 m wide. Through this narrow channel, currents can reach 15 kn.

Seymour Narrows was described by Captain George Vancouver as "one of the vilest stretches of water in the world."[2] Even after Ripple Rock was removed, it remains a challenging route. In March 1981, the Star Philippine, a freighter, ran aground in the narrows.

We were all happy for Sonar and Radar as the fog blanketed us in pretty good for a while... no photos, couldn't see...:o)

Out of the fog comes a few cabins, very cool to see.

A sailboat that was not quite as lucky, as seen here being towed to Campbell River for repairs

Robbie and Brian, happy we made it through the fog and the narrows...Little did they know, there were more to come.

We moored in Blind Channel our first night, it was now 7:35 pm which made for a long, but enjoyable first day.
