Ship's Log:
We passed through our second set of rapids, where we thought we would see how the winds were in Johnson strait. Upon reaching the strait we found it was blowing near gail, and after not making much way, we decided to turn around and set sail back for a more favorable anchorage, at which point we were making 5.5 knots under bare poles alone until the courses were set. Forward watch, with the able help of Andrea the Cook made a very safe passage into Forward harbour underneath a beautiful glacial view. All hands awoke to some delicious breakfast burritos.
