We are back. And Canada welcomed us with open arms. Well… really we just slid across the border and called Canadian Customs and reported our arrival via NEXUS. We spent the first 4 days in Canada at the Canoe Cove Boatyard whilst Raven Marine, an indigenous ownership company sanded and painted Great Northern’s lovely bottom. Oh we know, and she knows that her bottom is bigger than the back of a bus… but it has lovely lines.
We stayed at Montague Friday afternoon after our launch and spent Saturday there as well. On Sunday we decided to move further away from the Strait of Georgia as she was kicking up her heels and creating some blustery conditions. Off to Genoa Bay for a bit… then… who knows. South to Todd Inlet and Butchart Gardens or North to Bergoyne Bay, Thetis Island, Ladysmith, or? Wind, weather, currents, tides and available anchorages will be the deciding factors.
