It's a good thing we got up early; the anchor had dragged and the boat was nearly against the pilings. Worse, she was approaching submerged rocks. But a miss is as good as a mile, and we soon had her straightened out and under way.
Made really good time today. Covered nearly 70 miles in a little over twelve hours.
We still feel as if we're on a beautiful lake, high in the mountains. It's impossible to believe we're actually at sea level.
We're going down the Grenville Channel. The mountains here are very high and steep on both sides of the channel. Some are solid rock. Many are snow-capped. Saw a waterfall that tumbled half a mile down the side of a mountain.
A freighter from Greece or some such place passed us heading south. We were surprised to see a big freighter on this channel. On the chart, the channel is just a skinny little strip, but it's actually nearly a mile wide and hundreds of feet deep.
Anchored for the night in a tiny cove behind a small island. Peace, quiet, privacy, and beauty.
