We have to navigate the Dodd Narrows heading south today so a late departure is in order for good timing. We slip the line off the buoy at 1100hrs. and head outbound Northumberland Channel. There is a slight headwind with gentle 1-2 foot waves and no boats in a holding pattern for the narrows. We are early again but this time it doesn't really matter as we are on an ebb. We slip thru easily at 9.1k. On the other side there are about 5 boats headed our way and a squall kicks up with rain and decreased visibility. I turn the radar on and show Joyce where all the approaching vessels are located on the screen as she has the helm. I have been letting her run Shatoosh for the most part so she can soak up the hours of helmananda--the bliss of being at the helm.
