A beautiful sunny day for the travel - the morning warmed up nicely and there was no wind. We had to navigate through a short, narrow rocky cut called Elliott Cut. It is best to approach as close to low tide as possible. The current can and does reach 4 kts. It is a riveting experience to have your boat cruising at 5.5 kts then suddenly drop to 1.5 kts against the current. The current was so strong we could see big ripples, almost rapids on the water. It was only a quarter mile long and then we were on our way.
The anchorage for the night was Tom Point Creek, another beautiful anchorage. We had the Creek to ourselves, calm and quiet with a beautiful sunset and moonrise.

| On our way to Tom Point Creek...this scene broke our hearts. Spray of water toward the bow is water being evacuated. from this sinking ship. Would like to know what happened.
