We had a short uneventful ride to Bedwell Harbor, going through Sansum Narrows along the way. No problems, but a few current eddies and twists as the 3 kts carried us along. It was very beautiful and different than going around the west side of Saltspring Is. Maybe we'll go that way more often. It is an easy ride over to Roche Harbor from here, too. We are in a slip while September Time and Sweet are out on mooring bouys that belong to a marine park in the harbor. Jim has had an aching back and leg, so we'll take advantage of the hot tub. We have to use the upper pools this time because they are having a staff party in the lower pool! Whoo Hoo! I finally opened the meatloaf I had frozen at home. Our tiny freezer has kept it frozen until yesterday. That is amazing! We had sandwiches for lunch, but I promised Jim we would have meatloaf, mashed potatoes and vegies for dinner-real soul food. We will go to Garrison Bay tomorrow. The other boats will check in but we will do it by phone, using our I-68.
We were talking to Ann and Loyal about their boating in the area and they told us about a trip they took to Vancouver last year to see the fireworks competition between countries like Japan, Canada, etc.. You anchor your boat and watch the display from your cockpit or bow. Sounds like fun, so we may schedule a trip to Vancouver the last week in July. We are having company and we'll work around that, but I think we can do it. Ann says you can see all the highrise buildings at night, shining with lights.
It's overcast, but not too cool so we're going to the hot tub now and then nap for the afternoon. Finally a vacation day. Jim and Virginia
