We crossed the Georgia Straits & hobby horsed most of the way. Water was spraying all over the boat - 3 to 4 feet high waves & winds were 18-22 knots. I was so tired of the spraying & winds. Shadow was crying & finally went under the tv on the shelf. He was not happy.
There was one other boat when we got here & 1 other came in. Their dog was on the boat at Henry Island and chewed through their screens as he was not happy about being left alone.
