Day 20 - Part 1

Happy Canada Day from Tatoosh!
The plan worked out; we were off the dock at Bull Harbour at 04:00 and
were over the bar exactly at slack. Seas from the Bar through to Cape
Scott were lumpy & confused. Luckily we had little wind. In 15kts or
more it would be a lot more exciting. We rounded Cape Scott just after
08:00 under grey skies and the seas flattened out and the wind died.
There wasn't even enough wind to keep the main up for motorsailing.

We took the obligatory photo's, had a small toast of rum which we shared
with Neptune for good luck and are still motoring towards Winter Harbour.

Will send update later, this is a "live" update while enroute.

Over and out from N50-39.6/128-23.745... we are now going south east and
have passed our most northerly point between Bull Harbour and Cape Scott.

    I have to tell you guys, that there is vicious rumour going round that you really aren't circumnavigating V.I. but are really still i Sidney at the Canoe Cove dock and posting all these blogs just to make it look like there is something real happening. Sort of like that rumour that the Americans really didn't land on the moon. You just never know these days of digital postings digital phots etc. Maybe there really isn't a Tatoosh either. Oh yeah I've been on it !! Well the boats real but there is no Bruce Warren. In fact he was seen in Thriftys in Sidney just yesterday. So how do you explain that eh ??
