Day three

We spent a quiet evening anchored in Montague Harbour last night. After dinner we watched a couple episodes of “Weeds”, had cake and ice cream, and turned in for the night.

We were up and making our way through the Gulf Islands by 5:30 AM this morning. The early departure was necessary to make it to Dodd Narrows on or near slack. The wind picked up once we left the shelter of the gulf Islands and we decided to tuck into Nanaimo and avoid the rough seas rather than pushing on to Lasqueti Island and Boho Bay. The weather report calls for diminished winds and seas tonight and tomorrow morning.

For those of you who cruise to Nanaimo, we are anchored straight out from the Dinghy Dock Pub. For those of you who are not familiar with Nanaimo, it is the home of the delicious and oh so decadent coconut and chocolate Nanaimo Bar.



Chris seems to have eliminated all of the air bubbles plaguing the water-making system since the filter change and it is function beautifully. On the power side, even though we have partial cloud cover this afternoon the solar panels are working well and converting amps.

Chris is down in the engine room doing some organizing, Max is taking a nap and I am hoping to find an open WiFi to post to the blog.
