Day 7 - June 12th

We were on the water early for the slack tide to cross the first half of Rosario Straight. The weather gods smiled on us, but a huge oil tanker was bearing down on us for our crossing. It was far enough down Guemes Channel that we couldn't even tell it was moving... So, we went for it. Young, free, and stupid. We cranked out the first half of the crossing and luckily the shipping lane was on the east half of the channel, but we came about as close as being run down by a monster as I ever want to be. (Mike)
