July 23, 2018, Monday — Colby Cove to Monckton Inlet, Pitt Island

The wind is supposed to pick up this afternoon, so we got an early start this morning for Monckton Inlet, hoping for flat seas.  Well, the seas were flat, but dense fog rolled in about an hour before we got to Monckton.

Entering Monckton, we had to rely on the radar, since we only had about 50 feet of visibility.  Since the wind was supposed to pick up this afternoon, Al wanted to anchor back in the lagoon.  Finding the lagoon in the fog required complete faith in the radar, but we managed to feel our way through the narrow entrance.  Naturally, once inside the lagoon, all the fog disappeared, and we had wall-to-wall blue skies.
