We wrapped up the cruising season by meeting up with Jim & Lesley aboard Intrinsic and Wayne & Rinna, Steve & Una, aboard Arcturus. Good company, good food, and good drink, not to mention ideal cruising weather, made for a great time together.

We spent an afternoon travelling to, and then transiting, Whiterock Passage, which is not for the faint of heart; to transit it you have to follow range marks part way in and then look behind you to use another set of range marks to complete your passage out. Otherwise the rocks have you for lunch.

After the transit we turned around and went back through, on our way to our final night together in Squirrel Cove. The next morning everyone headed out in different directions back to their home bases.
Hello Conrad....and what a great week it was! Been a while since we last saw you. Hope we can catch up early in the new year to plan for 2012.
