Back in the U.S.A.
We headed back to the U.S.A. with hopes that they will allow us back into the country. We crossed the boarder at 0839. Haro Strait was just a little choppy with less than one foot wind waves. We arrived at the Customs Dock at Roche Harbor on San Ju…
A quaint little town
Time to travel on. We made the short cruise to Cowichan Bay and tied up to the government dock. This stop was mostly a laundry stop but after the laundry was finished we went exploring. Cowichan Bay is a quaint little village which reminded me of Co…
Bakery and a Hike
It was a short cruise over to Ladysmith. Finally we were going to Ladysmith. I had been wanting to go there since we first started coming to Canada five years ago. From the water Ladysmith looked like a charming little town but sometimes what you se…

We sadly left Roscoe Bay bright and early in the morning. It was a beautiful day to travel and we set our sights on Madeira in Pender Harbor. Crusing down Malispina Strait we got to thinking about crossing the Strait of Georgia. If the weather forec…

Seems like home
We hated to leave the spit but it was time to meet up with our friends again. So off we went to Von Donop Inlet on Cortes Island. There were several boats at the anchorage but of our friends, only Nick and Gail on the sailing vessel Destiny were there…
A tough life!
Another gloriously sunny and warm day. We took a leisurely paddle over to the marina where we had lunch on the deck overlooking Heriot Bay. Then we took a walk down some of the country roads admiring the homes along the way. When we got back the boa…
Heriot Bay Ridge Trail
This morning we had a humpback whale swimming around the bay. We heard a something that sounded like a freight train. When we looked out we was that it was a whale swimming around. That was an exciting way to begin the day. After that we paddled ov…
