We had a beautiful, but calm motor transit from Ganges to Nanimo, but we had to carefully time our arrival for slack water at Dodd Narrows, a tight little channel where boats must proceed through single file on the favorable side of slack water which lasts only about 30 minutes. Nanimo was fun, we saw a couple of museums and hiked their very nice waterfront park. At noon there was a cannon salute over the harbor which Wendy was allowed to fire - big fun! On our last day we dinghied across to Newcastle Island, all of which was a park and Skid and Wendy made friends with another dog playing in the low tidal mud... Skid got hosed off on the dock, but I allowed Wendy to use the shower onboard.
From here we hustled up the east side of Vancouver Island to Comox in advance of an approaching cold front and gale warning.
