Nanaimo Yacht Club

Were docked at the Nanaimo Yacht Club Reciprocal dock. Found a spot with a foot to spare on either end of the boat and squeezed in.
Love this town. The park along the waterfront here is great. We took a long walk, bought ice cream and are just getting ready to dinghy over to the store to finish some shopping for forgotten items.
Tomorrow it sounds like the winds will be minimal so we will head for Jedidiah Island and find a spot to anchor.

Sitting here watching a couple eagles soar over Protection Island across the way.
Jim and Linda Stutz are here, at least there boat is but we have not seen them yet. I heard him transiting Dodd Narrows south bound yesterday so I was surprised to see the boat here.

More to follow, were off shopping.

Well, we found Jim and Linda, talked to them for a bit then headed off shopping. We ran into Steve Driscoll and Sandy on Crecendo. Ended up talking to them for about 30 minutes before they had to leave for dinner reservations with Doug and Gail Stewart. It sounds like everyone from the club that has been up here is headed south while were headed north. Oh well, the weather is looking up for us now. According to Steve much of July sucked for good weather.
