Tonight we anchored in Forit Bay. The trip here via Gunboat Passage was interesting. Gunboat Passage is studded with rocks and also very narrow. So narrow that boats need to announce their presence by VHF radio before entering the passage and then coordinate with other boats so that they will be alone as they go through. All the boats we encountered seemed to be taking their turn, except for a commercial fishing boat that cut into the queue and entered the passage without warning to whoever might have been coming from the opposite direction. At Forit Bay we set our anchors in a picturesque and small space. Later, when our boats seemed to be getting a little too close for comfort, we decided to prevent them from going bump in the night by rafting together. This made it easier for Eileen and Bill to step aboard for dessert. It is great to have Jessica onboard; she is wonderful company, loves the natural beauty and takes even more photos than I do. Rob and Jessica went fishing with Blue and at the end of the day, she retired happily to her lair in the pilothouse with a flannelette sleeping bag, lots of pillows and a book.

Post-script: No fish were harmed in this fishing expedition.
