Everyone Knows It's Windy (Day 7)
View from campsite on Howcraft Bay, BC mainland
Facing direct headwinds over 15 mph at time our intrepid travelers had slow going up Queen Charlotte Strait, going as slow as 1.5 knots at times. After making only 20 miles by 3 pm (+ an extra "power hour" of rowing using Snickers as fuel) with winds continuing to rise, our team wisely bivouacked in Howcraft Bay. The other paddlers/rowers had similarly frustrating days and did no better.
With tomorrow's winds forecast almost as bad, will Don't Tell Mom press ahead or break out the card deck?
