Nanaimo to Rebecca Spit

May 4^th- Hearing that Whiskey Gulf was active, we decided to bypass Lasqueti Island and cruise straight up the Straits of Georgia and make our way to Rebecca Spit. We have passed the spit in the past and commented on how it would be fun to stop someday and hike through the mounds of drift on the beach. We arrived at the spit and dropped anchor in the center harbor shortly before dark. Like so many times in the islands, we barely get the anchor in the water and we see a large bald eagle perched majestically in a treetop on the shore.  We spent the remainder of the evening monitoring Max’s coming and going and encouraged him not to linger on deck. There are stories in the islands of lumberjacks finding eagle nests with a dozen or more dog and cat collars littering the bottom. Yikes!
