On Aug. 5th, we got underway by 7:00 a.m. to make our way back to Canada. Uhhhh! Home Sweet Home! We arrived at “Canoe Cove” where we first had our boat moored for six months, before bringing it home to Prince Rupert. Mae called Customs and they told me that I should use the direct phone line at the dock. No surprise, there was no Customs phone in sight and apparently there never has been one at that dock. Eventually, checking back in was easy.
Then we were underway and got a spot at Port Sidney Marina for the night. They gave us a great spot, at the front of the marina, for everyone to see our “Tankers Do Not Belong” banner. We got a lot of positive comments. One couple from Richmond bought a flag. They have been absolutely appalled with the Enbridge project.
That afternoon we got the boat cleaned up and did our shopping. That night we checked out Sydney's great Thursday street market and got few things.
