Following another boat in calm waters and seas towards Seymour Narrows
The weather is warm and sunny and the narrows are nice and calm
Then we get out into Johnstone Strait with wind right on the nose
Passing Chatham Point lighthouse at Rocky Point Provincial Park
We diverted out of stinky seas in Johnstone Strait and hid out across from Blind Bay for the night

After a long day hiding in Blenkinsop Bay we head out early in the fog to get done with Johnstone Strait
Getting a little peek at the islands as the fog lifts and settles
Suddenly a bow of light appears ahead
The sun breaks through the dense fog
And a very cool rainbow without color is right in front of us
Looks like we're going to drive right underneath
I called it a lightbow
The fog is gone and so is Johnstone Strait, Hallelujah
