We are unhappy because we missed a wonderful weather window to travel around Cape Caution. The last three days here have been rainy but there was no wind. Today as we travel across Queen Charlotte Straight the swells gradually increased to 4-5 feet. We listened to the weather at West Sea Otter buoy and the report said the sea was 1.3 meters in height. We have learned the hard way if West Sea Otter is over one meter for get it. Emerald Star handled the rough water very well, however, Fred was at the helm and less than thrilled. Of course before we set out I secured anything loose, just in case. Allison Harbour is very large with many good anchorage spots. There was only one other boat in there when we arrived. When we got settled Fred gave me my give of jewelry. I love jewelry! Ask my sisters or my daughter. They think I have a sickness. We put the dinghy down with hopes of placing a crab pot and going sightseeing. Unfortunately the battery was dead so Fred hooked up the charger for while. The rain got more steady and heavy so plans of sightseeing today were put off. After several hours of charging, the dink started and Fred took the crab trap out in the rain.
