On to Desolation Sound

We leave today for Desolation Sound. We stayed overnight at Comox. It is a beautiful area with a large glacier across the bay. We are staying in the commercial boat section of the marina. Very interesting to see all the "working boats" and talk with fishermen. The situation for fishermen in British Columbia is even worse than in the states. We stayed two nights ago in Nanaimo. It is also a beautiful marina situated in the downtown area. We had a great lunch at a local pub. On our way to Nanaimo we were able to do some sailing. Betty got several sailing lessons from Jim and did a great job. Our passage through Dodd Narrows was a "piece of cake".
The waters were calm and the tides were with us so we breezed right through into Nanaimo Harbor. There are not pictures this time as we didn't load the computer last night and I am in the marina office doing the computer. Hopefully we will able to post a blog during our time in Desolation Sound. We will be there about four days!

Stay tuned!
