Day 5 - Octopus Islands to Heriot Bay

Georgiy Shestayev

Beautiful sunny morning with little wind, we motored all the way to Surge Narrows and passed it around slack time through Beasley Passage. Easy way through as opposed to the other way - gotta watch for current pulling boats onto the Tusko Rock. Had light wind from the back going down the Hoskyn Channel. Got cell connection back there. For some reason Sail Ties closed and didn't track our path, so I had to put a simplified one. Saw a bunch of Humpback whales all around us - magnificent! A motor boat loaded with kayaks to the brim was passing by when a kayak fell from it's roof - luckily they noticed it and turned around to pick it up. Listener to a radio call from a boat called No Worries taking water and being assisted by a boat named Kamikaze. Docked at Heriot Bay to get fuel, fresh water and groceries, and then went to anchorage. A LOT of logs in the area. Reinforced a cracked dinghy seat. Watched a third place FIFA game between England and France which was absolutely insane.
