After spending the night on the mainland across from Gribbell Island Leigh and Dameon continued through Grenville Channel and have made good time, exceeding 6 knots at times. Certainly tidal currents in a channel 50 miles long and a half mile across are playing a role. Three quarters of the way to Ketchikan, they are even with a sailboat, Ziska, that has no wind in the Hecate Strait. Needing no wind they skimmed past Union Passage Marine Provincial Park, which looks exactly like the other 10,000 square miles of British Columbia coast but is no doubt a special place.
Update: Team Backwards has made camp in a cove near Freda Lake after 40 miles today.
Wow–they sure are making tracks! In awe and, as always, wishing them favorable currents and good weather.
