Distance: 28.55 nm (1-2 days)
Possible stops at: Lasquitti Isl,
Lasquitti has always escaped me and I plan to stop this time thru.
The winds can be severe enough to seek out a seldom used anchorage at 49o 30.141’ N, 124o15.681’ W called Tucker Bay. You can get out of the bad weather by ducking into Bull Passage between Lasquitti and Jedediah Islands. Up past Boho Island you can turn Northwesterly below Jervis Island to pick a spot with enough depth and swinging room beyond Potter Point. Beware of Avery Reef as you enter, prominently displayed on Canadian chart #3512. There are a few oysters in the area but consider passing them up for easier picking (cleaner water) further up North. This area is quite nice for exploring by dinghy and checking out the wildlife. Boat Bay on the Northern end of Jedediah can get too crowded so you'll want to get there early.
