Pictures

We start in Codville Lagoon and then take a hike to Sagar Lake.  The "trail" is more of an improved creek bed than a trail.




























As you cans see, the water is a golden shade of brown from the cedar trees that surround the lake.  Then of course there is BLue taking a nap on the cockpit roof.   Boats we see come in all sizes but this one is one of the biggest we have seen.
Below the big ship is Bottleneck Inlet just North of Klemtu.
A typical BC Ferry that plies these waters.  Next, on to Bishop Bay hot springs.  A delightful place to spend a couple of days.  A small bath tub with a sock rolled up that clogs the drain so you can have fresh water to an inside pool that is nice and hot or go into the outdoor pool.  On to Verney Passage with it rock walls and dozens of water falls and mud slides.

The moon rise in East Inlet along the Grenville Channel.
Fog settling in to Kelp Passage Cove. 
And finally, an eagle sitting on top of our mast at Prince Rupert Rowing and Yacht Club.
Remember, if you click on any photo, they get much larger for better viewing.
Tomorrow, off for Foggy Cove and back to the USA.

ÒStray current corrosionÓ is when electric current
escapes from its intended path, and uses our boat or our
underwater fittings as its new path. Here we have a
current straying from its intended path: a stray current.
This is a much more severe kind of corrosion. Stray
currents can cause very rapid metal loss, which is
limited only by the amount of current available. If there
is a direct short, the corrosion rate will be extraordinary

Bill, the rapid zinc destruction is concerning. I have asked some folks on a sailing site to help. I can remember reading about tray electrical and direct shorts speeding up the process. Something is going on. It could eat your engine up.

The first paragraph was from a post on the Crewfinder site re zinc detruction.
