Madeira Park was a good experience... and we met nice folks... but, it was time to go! One boat left (bigger, stronger and faster than ours) and ourselves and another waited one more night. We both headed out on Saturday morning with the intention of heading home (they to Richmond and us to the other side of the Strait). Luckily for us they got to south of Merry Island first and radioed back. They were turning around as the wave over swell was just too much. As we had no set plans, and didn't feel the need to get 'all shook up' we slowed down and joined them in Secret Cove for one night at the Buccaneer Marina. Sunday morning, bright and early, both boats headed out and south. Winds were light (on the nose for us) and seas were kindly. Both boats arrived at their destinations comfortably. We have enjoyed Sunday afternoon and Monday at Pages Marina and plan to head through Gabriola Pass tomorrow morning. Where we are headed remains to be determined and when we go home... well, we'll know once we're there :-). Rest assured we are safe within the Gulf Islands and enjoying, finally, some days of sunshine. Hope all is well with each of you. CJ
