| El Capitan Passage |
A pod of Orcas were hunting at the mouth of Egg harbor as we
exited for our journey past Cape decision (where Captain Vancouver decided to
turn around) and through decision. This pass has a reputation for being a bit
wild at times so we had timed it for slack water and the crossing was benign.
We sailed most of the way across Chatham sound and entered El Capitan Passage
having tried catch another halibut, but without success. El Capitan passage is
a narrow and shallow dredged channel leading from Sumner strait to the interior
of Prince of Wales island and out to Sea Otter sound further south on the
island. As we transited the channel we could see the bottom as we had about 6
feet of water under the keel. We anchored in a small bight on the periphery of
the channel and swung with the tide racing through the channel.
