Comox to Nanaimo - 8 hours, 57 miles

What a bright and sunny day! Not a cloud in the sky the whole trip today. The Straight of Georgia remains a giant pond. It is so clear that we could see Mt. Baker in the distance in Washington. We decided we would stay on the dock in Nanaimo. It is so convenient to walking paths and shops. We like to do a starboard tie because the helm seat is on that side of the boat and the skipper can open the pilot house door and see what is going on. In order to tie up on the starboard side Fred pulled into the way and rotated the boat 180 degrees. However, there were boats on the other side of the way. Fred made the turn and placed us on the dock and did it perfectly. I don’t think we had 2 feet of clearance on either side, but he did it! He really impressed the other boaters.
