The crew departs for a 36-mile transit, stopping at Low Inlet to view the falls and search for salmon-feeding bears.2:29 After finding no bears, they continue through the long, narrow Grenville Channel, where they encounter significant chop, headwinds, and adverse currents that slow their progress.5:28 They anchor in 45 feet of water at Clunugget Marine Park, a location well-protected from northwest winds by surrounding mountains.5:46 The following day involves boat housekeeping, engine checks, and dinghy exploration of the bay, while fishing attempts yield only small, non-keepable fish.12:52 The crew plans an early departure the next morning to avoid the predicted afternoon northwest winds during the second half of their transit through Grenville Channel.13:43
