After
a night of surprisingly
heavy downpours that showed that our boom tent could be a bit more
waterproof,
we awoke to a cool, sunny morning and 8-12 knots of northerly wind. By 0900 hours, we were on our way past Badgely ... http://www.angelfire.com/de2/cruise

A
couple of hours later,
we were glad we had dressed warmly as the wind was up to 12 to 15 knots
and, once we got past the lee of Partridge, we were beating into the
3-4
foot waves of Frazer Bay. By 1400 hours, we had arrived
at the main destination of our cruise, the Cantwells' island just SW of
Halcyon Rock in McGregor Bay
