Today we crossed the Straits of Georgia. We turned back on our first attempt as it was a little rough and we told ourselves that now that we have time we would not go if the the weather was not good. That was at 6:00 this morning. This afternoon the wind let up some about 3:00 so we left.It was a good crossing and by the time we were accross it was calm water. Took about 4 hours as we went a little further than we planned. Tonight we are anchored in Garden Bay inPender Harbor. What a great place. There will be lots to explore in our skiff tomorrow. Might spend a few days here as there is another weather system blowing in and this bay is very protected.
Pat's new glasses fell apart yesterday so I had to superglue them back together. Need to be ready for anything. Enjoyed Nanaimo alot. There is lots of stuff to watch. Seaplanes taking off every 15 minutes;water taxi's scooting accross the bay;tugs pushing barges loaded with a cement truck;mother geese taking her little ones for a swim;sailboats tacking accross the channel where the sea plane wants to land. We had a great view of all this from atop the boat.Hope everyone is well. Russ,Pat,Maddie
