We left Campbell River late in the morning to so we wouldn't have to slog through 7-8kts of current against us...we had a little until we were a ways past Cape Mudge, but it wasn't much of an issue. The weather was glorious, and again with the calm calm conditions on the Strait of Georgia.

We decided to stop for the night just behind Sandy Island, which is a little bit south of Comox. What a great spot! We took the dinghy to shore and hiked around a bit, but there's much more shoreline to explore than we covered!
