We have enjoyed wonderful fall weather this week with warm and sunny days. Our time is taken up by meeting friends and family, and I played a bit of golf and had a few biotech meetings. Tonight the sunset was so spectacular that we went to English Bay to properly enjoy it.

We celebrated Bernice’s birthday tonight, and what a great party it was. There was a nice dinner, music and dancing, visiting with family, and of course a birthday cake. Great fun!

Fall in Vancouver

The boat is packed up for the winter and we are in Vancouver. Sheila is busy with a bathroom renovation, I am preparing a guest lecture, and we both are enjoying spending time with friends. The weather has been cold and wet, but today the sun came out in the morning and it is supposed to stay nice for a few days. Stanley Park has a definite fall feeling to it though.

The weather improved quite a bit and I came to Sidney Spit. At low tide, one can walk out to the lighthouse, which I did today. There are a few other boats here, but very quiet compared to when I was here two weeks ago.

I am back in James Bay, the weather is still very mixed and I am getting the boat ready for the winter.

After all the nice sunshine, the weather has turned now to chilly, windy and wet. I pulled into Ganges again today to spend a few days in Vancouver, then next week it will be time to pack up the boat for the winter.

Another day in the sun

I left Winter Cove this morning to stop for lunch at the pub in Port Browning. When I anchored there I noticed that the boat next to me was IBIS, a Beneteau Oceanis 351 that we owned from 2003 to 2006. The current owner uses the boat to teach sailing and we had a nice chat.

Later, I went on to James Bay on Prevost Island, where I had not been before. There is a nice apple orchard there, and a good 4  km hike to the lighthouse. The day has been very warm and sunny.

Winter Cove on Saturna Island

After Sheila left this morning, I came into Winter Cove on Saturna Island. This is a large, well protected anchorage, and only a few boats are in here. Nobody I know, so this is my chance to clean up the boat a bit.

After a few very busy days of meeting with friends and relatives, Sheila and I came into Port Sidney Marina today. We are meeting some friends here tonight and Sheila plans to go back to Vancouver tomorrow. The weather is still nice and sunny, but the nights are quite chilly.
