August 5th

No such luck the “Venture” is on a mission and pulls their hook up in the morning and leaves Fury. We did get a wave from the beauty as she glides out of the cove.

“Summer Isle” a GB Europa is anchored near.  Wilf and Marg are members of the Grand Banks BC Club. We chat and wave to each other.

"Full Moon"

 

We also share the bay with a little old salmon troller that is now a leisure boat.  She is a Beauty.  “FULL MOON “is her Nom De Plume.

 

It’s a great day so we spend some time on the beach at Fury.

Goodbye Fury Til Next Year

We spend another night and happy hour.  Pat is a little nervous Nellie like Penny, especially about rounding Cape Caution.  They had an uncomfortable ride coming north as it was a little lumpy but was made very uncomfortable because the fuel transferred to one side and they were lopsided and not safe in the swells.

Penny and I had talked about exploring Smith Inlet again, but Pat was looking for company around the Cape.  You definitely feel like you are in your own back yard when you’re on the Port Hardy side close to all the amenities including internet, cell, etc.  We PROMISE OURSELVES TIME AND TIME AGAIN that we will not venture out in rough water especially around the Cape. There have been weeks that it has been flatter than pee on a plate out there and perhaps the weather god will change her mind and smote us down.

Pat has become a weather guru out of self-defence. The winds have been predicted light but for me the big concern is Slingsby Pass.  We talk about leaving at 5 in the morning.  The strong current off Slingsby is still on the ebb.
