Shearwater to Fury Cove 5 ¾ hours 59.8 miles FUEL: 366.4 GALLONS @ $5.20/GALLON !!

We filled the fuel tanks, even with these outrageous prices.  It will give us more freedom to pick different anchorages and marinas.  We have really heavy fog today.  At times we couldn’t see the water in front of the boat.  The water was flat calm, the radar worked well and Fred reduced our speed to 7-8 kts.  Fury Cove was empty when we entered and had our choice of places to anchor.  We anchored with a lovely view of the sandy beach and Fitz Hugh Channel beyond.  We are very protected in here and as we completed anchoring the sun came out. While we were enjoying the afternoon sun from the cockpit, we could just see a couple of humpback whales over the protecting rocks. They were heading up north and look very happy. It was actually in the 70’s.  We sat on deck and caught some Vitamin D.  Fred put the crab pots out but no crabs for us.
