In the previous adventure; the Audrey Eleanor and crew take a beating while trying to creep undetected past the furies and Mother Nature into Milbanke Sound and through Reid Channel.They manage to escape after 20-foot seas threaten to roll them side over side and dredge them into the ocean floor:
It is surreal cruising down Reid Channel in calm waters after being battered minutes earlier by huge waves.I have to pinch myself to make sure that I am still alive.It is one of those moments where you wonder if you haven’t actually crossed over into another world or dimension and someone should show up soon to give you directions on how to proceed.
The directions come… from the helm. The Captain decides that we should cruise into Oliver Cove to check out possible anchorage and make the big decision, do we go or do we stay?It is nine o’clock in the morning and Shearwater is only a few hours away.We have been living off of dry goods, mostly what the mice have left of the lentils (the un-damaged bags, I know what you are thinking!!) and whatever the Captain manages to bring up in the crab traps or catch on a hook…you can actually get sick of crab you know.
