1 day

Tidal current and wind right on my nose slowed my progress most of the day. Otherwise beautiful weather. Smoke from Canadian fires visible to the north blocked the sun as sunset approached. Found anchoring close to the beach was a mistake when the winds swung around to the south. At first it was just the bow rising up and down, with was not bad. But later after the tidal current reversed and the winds/waved started coming in from the SW mading for a rocky night with little sleep. At first light i moved close to the ships and got a few more hours of sleep in the more protected waters.
