We find ourselves in Bottleneck Inlet this morning after a dry, mostly sunny passage yesterday. There was one other boat in here when we arrived, and eight others now. They just kept streaming in. Most we recognize from Shearwater. It will be interesting to see how many arrive at our next anchorage with us. Or will they go further? Ours is the only sailboat among the group. This Cove is loaded with sea birds. The Merlin app came to life identifying them all. We barbecued sausages on the grill last night, watched the sun set over the entrance to the inlet, and listened to the sea birds. Today we transit another narrow, shallow channel. We'll arrive at slack so we don't need to leave here until 9:30 AM. There's no published current information for this channel, so we'll arrive at low tide. High tide would be preferable but not convenient. We'd have to leave here at 3 AM. 9:30 AM sounds much more civilized.
