Before leaving Port McNeill, we studied the weather obsessively. We had a plan A, plan B, plan C, maybe even a plan D. Basically, it looked like we might have an opportunity to get around Cape Scott on Saturday (day 6). We’d anchor in Sea Otter Cove, then continue to North Harbour in Quatsino Sound the following day. When we went to sleep in Port McNeill, this seemed to be the best option.
When we woke up, the wind at Cape Scott was already blowing, but Sunday (day 7) now looked good! We went back to sleep and figured we’d depart a little later and head for Port Alexander to stage for rounding Cape Scott on Sunday.
