Blunden Harbor to Port Hardy

We spent 2 nights in Blunden waiting for the weather to settle. On Wednesday the winds were projected to drop off to NW 10-15 and early morning fog was expected. We headed out and had beautiful sailing on a close reach with minimal course adjustment all the way to Port Hardy. No fog. It took a little over 2 hours for the crossing of Queen Charlotte Strait. Winds were 15-20kts. Seas 2 ft swell. Just off Port Hardy a Humpback Whale breached, only 100 yards to our starboard bow. What a greeting! We are at the “Fisherman’s Wharf” in port for the next few days. We need to provision for the west coast, refuel, do laundry and take care of any maintenance items before the next leg of our adventure. We are awaiting word from Bill and Claudia regarding the status of their repairs. We now have wifi available at the local coffee shop and cell service for a few days.
