Leg 4- Tuesday. & Wednesday

We left port Townsend Tuesday morning with a tricky exit involving a spring off the dock against the wind followed by a 180 turn through the wind in a small opening in the marina. There was a small group of port Townsend old salts watching with their coffees- I got the finger lift/wav when I as done so I think I passed the test. 

We sailed for a couple of hours and motored for about 4 arriving at Oak Bay just before 3 pm. After clearing customs we found that they only had 2 slips open, both a tight fit for Tatoosh. We got in to her berth with a "well done" from a local. 

After a grocery run to the store in the oak bay village I finally won some cribbage games. Kevin is still ahead by a slim margin!!

Today we had showers, purged the over chlorinated water from Seattle and replaced it with some good Canadian water(!) and we're off in 12 kts towards Bedwell. 

We had some good hours of sailing but didn't make much headway towards Bedwell and we ended up on a mooring bell at Sidney spit. 

We need to find a hidy-hole tomorrow as there is a gale forecast for Thursday night. 

Over and out.
