Saturday, August 8, 2020 — Watmough Bay to Mud Bay, Lopez Island, Washington

When the sun came up this morning, we got our first look at Watmough Bay.  It’s actually very picturesque.  Apparently, everyone else thinks so too, because the bay is full of boats.  

It is very foggy this morning.  If we hadn’t crossed Juan de Fuca Strait last night, we would have had to wait until 1100 hrs this morning for the fog to lift.   By then, the wind would have been blowing 25 knots and we’d be faced with “Victory at Sea”.  So, I guess Al made the right call yesterday.

As soon as we finished breakfast, we headed for Hunter Bay, just a 30 minute run.  However, when we got to Hunter, we found that it was full of boats also.  So, we anchored in nearby Mud Bay.  The wind blew hard all day.
