We're really headed home now. Zoomed down the coast to Dixon Entrance and across to Dundas Island in Canada. Very calm day. Even had some sunshine. We've certainly been lucky with the weather. Dixon Entrance can be wild and stormy, but it was calm for us, both going and coming. Even had a nice little southwest breeze, so we were able to sail on a beam reach.
Yesterday, we heard the Coast Guard on VHF radio trying to contact a fishing boat, Sharon A., that had gone aground at Black Rock. This morning, they announce that the boat had sunk. A few hours later, we went within a hundred yards of it. It was eerie, seeing the tops of the spars sticking out of the water at a crazy angle. Presumably, all hands were rescued; the Coast Guard wasn't far away.
