Day 6 - Heriot Bay to Campbell River

Georgiy Shestayev

Left Heriot Bay towards Georgia Strait. Good NW wind. A lot of fishing vessels around Wilby Shoals, so we put up a fishing rod, but with no luck. Passed the area and then turned to go up the channel towards Campbell River. With strong NW wind from up the channel, close haul and a 3-knot ebb we were making 7-knots towards our destination and arrived in no time, docked at Discovery Harbour Marina. Watched FIFA final game, happy that Spain won (I was rooting against Argentina, so it works) and then went for the first shower in a few days. Shower requires a card tap, which gives 15 minutes, second tap can give an extra 7. It was more than enough. Went on a walk in town, but everything is closed on Sunday. Later Johnny has arrived on board, who is our skipper wife's cousin. Went for a dinner at Riptide pub. This night I slept in cockpit which was actually a very nice experience - wider than a birth and fresh air.
