The owner helps Capt. Terry replacing the navigation lights. Then they depart from Alert bay to anchor somewhere around Hansen Island about 12 to 14 miles away.
Departing Alert Bay Cormorant island is keep on the boats starboard side along with the Pearse islands, then across Weynton Passage into Blackfish Sound, where Hanson island lies between it an Johnstone Strait. They look into Double Bay where a logging operation and fish camp were. Did not like it so went around thee point and anchored behind a small Island named Sprout Island, where they anchored, and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
