It's now Wednesday and we are at SGang Gwai so first some catching up. Caught the 4:00 pm boat fro Skiddegate Landing and found out it isn't a free boat ride - $15.00 for the round trip. Picked up last minute supplies from MorEx and SuperValu. Got up early Tuesday morning as MorEx said they would be arriving at 7:30 am. Young woman who picked us up is owner of the company, Laura. We also tagged along as she had a few other customers to deliver to. Another young woman joined us. We got to Moresby Camp in the rain and set up the Zodiac boat and launched it. Long cold ride in the Zodiac with two 200 HP out boards. Wind and rain in your face made us face the back for most of the rrip. Went through Louise Narrows and Burnaby Narrows. Also checked out a few other spots for reference. Got to Rose Harbour about 3:00 pm to find Ross Island occupied so we went to Rasberry Cove. A group of 3 from San Francisco joined us aroud the campfire. We hung our food from 3 lines and when I went to throw one line weighed with a rock the rope snagged on the ground and the rock pendulumed into my forehead just between the eyes. Blood poured out and even trickled during the night. Rain kept misting and sprinkling until past midnight. Woke up Wed mornig to calm winds and a forecast predicting even calmer conditions. Paddled fairly quickly to SGang Gwai with hardly noticeable swells on the way out. The watchment have told us the next tour leaves in about 1 hour so we are waiting.
