The kids and grandkids have left, we have recovered and are enjoying fantastic summer weather in Vancouver.

Visit to Ancient Murrelet

We all took the float plane to Nanaimo and spent two days on Ancient Murrelet at Newcastle Island. The weather continues to be hot and sunny, and we had great fun. The kids liked the jacuzzi on the boat and the dinghy best.

Wir geniessen immer noch schönes Wetter, sind jeden Tag am Strand und die Kinder bauen mit Begeisterung Sandburgen (und Alistair auch). Inzwischen haben auch alle die Zeitumstellung bewältigt und wir können morgens lange schlafen, so bis 6 Uhr.

Fun in Vancouver

We are having fun with Jessica and Alistair and the grandchildren here in Vancouver. Today we visited the bears on Grouse Mountain and went swimming in the ocean for the second day in a row (well, some of us). The weather is quite nice and we have quite a few plans for the next ten days with the family.

Newcastle Island, Nanaimo

Today I arrived in Nanaimo, where the boat will be for a couple of weeks while we spend time with family in Vancouver. This is the end of our Alaska excursion. We covered 2,400 nautical miles in 82 days. I am spending the night at Newcastle Island, which has nice walks and an old quarry for pulp stones (to make paper). Then of course, there is also the Dinghy Dock Pub.

Jedediah Island

Tribune Bay was very busy as it is a long holiday weekend. I came to Jedediah Island today, a former homestead that is a provincial park now. There is still an orchard with apples and pears, but I did not find the plum tree we harvested from over 10 years ago when we were here with Andrea. There are sheep and goats on the island, supposedly introduced by the Spanish a few hundred years ago, I only saw a few sheep and a few other boaters today. There are many places to anchor around the island, and I have my little bay all to myself.

Sheila went to Vancouver and I continued south. The weather is still hot and sunny, but due to the many forest fires in the interior of British Columbia, there is a lot of smoke in the air. Today I am anchored in Tribune Bay on Hornby Island. On the way here I passed the pretty lighthouse on Chrome Island.

Gorge Harbour

We are in Gorge Harbour tonight to enjoy a dinner in the restaurant, just as last year, but only with the two of us. Sheila flies to Vancouver tomorrow, fortunately the trip to the airport is quite manageable: a 30m walk to the end of the dock where the floatplane stops.

Manson’s Landing

Just a short hop today and we are anchored at Manson’s Landing on Cortes. The weather continues to be very hot. There is a lake close by and Sheila went for a swim, I just walked in a little bit.

Noch einmal drei Stromschnellen ohne Probleme und jetzt ankern wir mal wieder in Von Donop Inlet auf Cortes. Hier waren wir schon oft mit verschiedenen Gästen, und es ist immer wieder schön. Heute sind 29 Grad, Sonne satt, wir genießen es!
