Another early one today, hope to make this one.

Jewel in Gastineau Channel.

 

Noordam south of Douglas Island leading X Solstice, but Solstice travelling twice as fast - so may pass Noordam before the channel. That would make her a view blocker if that happens.

[Happily@Sea]

Just before the Channel - X passing our BHB - so, view blockage the order of the day.

Some extended time as she turns in the basin.

@SeaMatesNYC - have a great day and thanks for the pictures and updates. Good to see you, Roy, with pictures also. An extra thanks to Leanne for posting threads while cruising.

It’s painful sometimes watching and not being onboard.
