Mt Baker in the back ground.
A grey windy day and somewhat exposed anchorage but no problems
looking up Fulford Harbour, Saltspring Island from Russel Island
Oil anchor lamp burns all night
When at anchor or mooring a snubber line from a block at the cranze iron keeps the mooring can away from the bobstay
The initial run issues with the Buhk engine injection pump have been sorted and there were no issues with the engine.
September is great, few boats out, cooler but wonderful weather, just a great time to explore home waters which can be busy during summer.
Met up with SV Moon Raven, another 34ft Falmouth Cutter. the owner and Bryan from Channel Cutter yachts were just starting their voyage to Hawaii. It was great fun to see them and have both boats together. Unfortunately my lousy phone camera did not capture a good imagine of the two boats together,
Crocker designed SV Macaw at the same anchorage and we all had a wonderful visit and time.
Added the thimbles at the fwd lower shroud for the lifeline. A nice little job to do at anchor.
Made the boarding step for getting in and out of the dinghy. Bare red cedar with foam and canvas bumper bronze ring nailed around the edge
