Monday. July 2nd, Nanaimo B.C.

Clam Bay near Thetis Island. Fog at sunset.

After a false start with some concerns regarding the house batteries we have continued on to Nanaimo, B.C.  We had a great dinner at Astera's, a Greek resataurant on Wesley St.  It is raining continously now but the forcast is better for the end of the week. (29 degrees on Friday!)  Tomorrow we will make an 8 hour run to Campbell River and then head through Seymour Narrows and on up Johnstone Strait.  There was a lot of boat traffic today and constant chatter on the VHF.  Most of the chatter is about nothing at all so one wonders why they do it.  People can't seem to shut up and enjoy the view. I am looking forward to getting further North where there is less congestion.
