Blair Inlet

Today's check-in comes from one of the Roar Islets of Blair Inlet. They are just off Cecilia Island.

They covered at least 20 nautical miles today.

Conditions at the South Hecate Strait buoy show winds out of the NW at 13 in the morning decreasing to 3 in the late afternoon. This buoy is in open water; they were probably in more sheltered conditions. The Bella Bella airport is the closest station that reports observed conditions. It reported cloudy in every observation period except one, which reported light rain. So today was probably relatively dry, with a tail wind!
