[status] We had 20k headwinds in Arthur Passage and Grenville Channel, so we had another very slow day (3.5k average speed) and once again did not get close to our intended anchorage. Ordinarily that wouldn't matter, but since the customs officer threatened us with 3 years imprisonment and up to a million dollar fine if we didn't do exactly as he said, it actually does matter that we're not making enough distance. We don't expect to end up in a Canadian jail, but we don't want to tangle with the authorities, either.

[status] Despite fog, rain, headwinds, adverse currents, and a mess of large logs in the water thrown in for good measure, we pushed on as far as Coghlan Anchorage. It's exposed to the south winds but since the next viable anchorage is 40 miles away, here we are.

[status] Day 28...A full month at sea and yet doesn't feel so. The good news is that we had another record breaking 24 hours
210nm; now imagine the bragging rights at the pub!! Also we have definitely passed 1/2 way, all of the possible half points that we can think of are done. We can now commence the countdown. 4000nm down, 4000nm to go!

[status] It was unfortunate our limited number of days allowed in Canada
forced us to press on today, as conditions south of Prince Rupert were even
stronger than forecast. We bashed into 25k headwinds and 2-3 foot waves for
hours, averaging just 3k of speed. We?d gone just a little over half our
planned distance for today when we decided we couldn?t make it to that
anchorage before dark. We?re now anchored in Lawson Harbor, hoping for
better conditions tomorrow.
