Wednesday 8/8/2012 - Princess Louisa Inlet, BC to Pender Harbour, BC
Slack tide was early in the morning, so we started motoring at daybreak and crossed Malibu Rapids outbound with no problems. We found strong headwinds through Jervis inlet. A few hours into our trip it began raining. As soon as we were within range for weather radio, we found out there was a low pressure system in the San Juans that was causing the south winds to funnel inside Jervis inlet and right on our nose.
When we arrived at Pender Harbour, we found the place was full of boats seeking refuge from the strong winds in the Straits of Georgia. We called several marinas and everyone was full. We found an empty slip at the very nice (and shallow) Painted Boat Resort. The resort was recommended to us from a couple we met in Victoria. We arrived near low tide and found depths of seven feet. That's less than two feet under our keel! After we got settled and paid our slip fee, we walked to the market and bought some fresh halibut steaks and greens. We used a recipe for the fish that we had gotten from our friends Bill and Chris - it was delicious!
