Khutze Inlet to Shearwater Marina 7¾ hours 90 miles

We have rain and fog again today but we are heading over to Shearwater.  It is a 5 mile trip back out of Khutze Inlet.  We had heavy rain and wind most of the way today.  We crossed from Finlayson Channel into Mathias Channel via Jackson Passage.  Jackson Passage was just beautiful (would have been better in the sun).  We did not meet anyone in the narrows.  As we entered Seaforth Channel we encountered calm seas with 4 ft. swells.  We were prepared to find a safe anchorage anywhere along the way but continued on because the sea conditions were acceptable.  When we arrived at Shearwater we tried hailing the harbormaster on channel 06, 66 and 16 and never heard back.  So, we saw a place on the dock and took it.  Fred went to check in and found that there was no harbormaster as present due to family illness.  By 6:00 PM the dock was full and folks were moored over on the breakwater.  Sure glad we got here when we did.
