The lightning storm brought with it some unsettled weather the following day. We left Bedwell at 11am for a short 7.18 nautical mile trip to Portland Island. Once out of the harbor the wind was blowing 20 knots creating a lumpy ride but our boat sure did handle it well.
After clearing customs in Bedwell Harbor we decided to stay the following day as well. We needed to do some laundry and the kids wanted to swim in the pool. The provincial park on South Pender island in Bedwell harbor is very large and has lots of hiking trails.
Julie and I had a lot of discussion the previous night about our next destination. Do we leave early and head out across the Straight of Juan De Fuca or take the more protected waters through the Swinomish channel? The straight is defiantly the quicker route to Canada but it comes with some risk.
