We are in Nanaimo for the third day. We got a spot, Barely in the marina on Sunday night and did laundry. Next day we re supplied at the grocery store but it was a holiday so the liquor store was not open. Will have to restock today. Moved to the Nanaimo Yacht Club reciprocal dock, slipped in just as one boat was leaving, only one other slip opened up that day. The Anchorage behind protection island is chock full. Jim and Cheryl Matheson, Gary and Lenore Timm and Doug and Gail Stewart came in while we were taking a bike ride and we found them while we were getting ice cream cones. Ended up we all went to dinner at the Dinghy Dock Pub later that night and had a grand old time. We have our first major crisis of the cruise. Chris needs her nails filled and she cannot find an opening in any of the salons to get them done. We cannot leave until she gets them done. I can think of worse places to be during a crisis. We will head out tomorrow morning, weather is for calm winds building out of the SE by evening. no rain in the forecast for the next 7 days as far as Campbell River. It has been snotty up in the Broughtons from what were told from those headed south.
