We talked to people about our NO TANKERS campaign. We have had lots of thumbs up about our boat banners. Marty said that one lady shouted out, "Way to go!"
We have been having lots of fun looking at other boats around the docks. Marty has never seen so many C & C's of various lengths.
We had a great dinner at the popular fish & chip restaurant called "Trollers." They served until they ran out of fish. When we got there, they had run out of halibut and prawns. Then the lady ahead of us found out they just ran out of salmon. We were the last customer and just squeaked in before they closed the curtains. We went for an evening walk where Marty pulled Mae into a dark alley when he had spotted a pub.
On July 18, Marty did the laundry while Mae did the first update of our blog. We watched the special Regatta where people build floating contraptions, using recyclable materials, in four hours. Then they had races on the water like the "Quick and Daring" for Prince Rupert's Seafest.
The highlight of the day was Edward's arrival (Marty's son). He will be spending a week with us exploring some of the Gulf islands.
On July 19, Marty spent the morning scrubbing and cleaning the boat while Edward and Mae went out provisioning with food and beverages.
In the afternoon, we explored Newcastle Island and ended the evening with dinner at the "Dinghy Dock Pub" on Protection Island. Great Place! Our next blog entry will not be until the end of the week (probably the weekend).
