Day 2 – 20 June 2009

Departure – Secret Cove Marina @ 0950
Destination – Laura Cove, Desolation Sound
Arrival Time – 1600

State of The Sea – 2 to 3 foot Chop with occasional 4 to 5 foot swells
Wind - North West 9 knots

Captains Comments:
The trip from Secret Cove to Lund took approximately 2.5 hours of travel time. Average Speed 20 knots.
The weather at departure was overcast with some sunny breaks as we got closer to Lund.
We stopped in Lund to fuel the vessel, the Captain and the Admiral.
Once we left Lund and set out through the Copeland Islands, the seas got calmer, the wind subsided and the scenery is absolutely stunning...

We arrived to a secluded private anchorage at Laura Cove.. spectacular anchorage..

So did you fuel the Captain & Admiral at the hotel pub in Lund? We had a very nice lunch there last Sept. You've been to some pretty spots so far . . . we're getting excited for our depature date next Monday! Look forward to reading more.
