We woke at 3:30 AM this morning to pounding rain on the deck of the boat. Undaunted, we got up, dressed and made a pot of coffee. We needed to be fully coherent to listen to the 4:00 AM weather update on weather radio. The cats thought it was wonderful that we were up in the middle of the night and wanted to play, but we had to put them off so that we could take care of business. To our dismay things had changed for the worse with near gale force winds forcasted to build from the northwest by early afternoon. It was a difficult decision, but we made the no go decision after discussing our options. We both went back to bed and didn't wake until about 8:00 AM when water dripping from the condensation forming on the hatch cover was hitting me in the face.
We are now back in Port Hardy. Looking at the extended forecast, it looks as if Thursday will be the first break in the weather. If that holds true, we'll make another run to Bull Harbor on Wednesday for a run around the north end of Vancouver Island on Thursday early AM.
