Oh Canada!


We are on vacation at last! On Monday, we left Port Angeles and headed for Victoria. It was a nice short trip...only four hours. We tried to remember how to sail at first, but were forced to motor for most of the trip once the wind died. We are moored in front of the Empress hotel, which is very entertaining. Right now I am listening to a street entertainer captivate a crowd. He seems to draw crowds all day long! The entertainment, with music, acrobatics, street vendors, etc, goes from about nine or ten in the morning until eleven at night. It has been a welcome treat, but we are thinking that we'll head to the Gulf Islands next and anchor in a quiet bay. :)

Congratulations on finally GOING on vacation. Remember to go to the Irish Pub, 3 blocks to your left as you face the Empress Hotel, close to the waterfront.
I sure like the pictures.

Nice going Nancy and Cory!! Feels great to finally get there, I bet. Beautiful spinnaker, by the way. When did you get to use it?

Lisa - We used the spinnaker while sailing from Neah Bay to Port Angeles. Light wind, but plenty to move us along.
