Leaving Nanaimo

July 28
Sorry, those last two posts were published out of order.

We finally made it into the water with all systems go at 7pm last evening – hooray!!  We had a setback yesterday afternoon and spent $272 for a reverse lockout kit – we only needed one spring out of the kit, but that’s how Volvo/Penta makes $$.  Anywho, we spent last night back at Newcastle Marine Park and crossed the Strait of Georgia today.  No problems and we are currently anchored at Pender Harbor on the Sechelt Peninsula.  Tomorrow, we will get an early start to make it to Princess Louisa Inlet Park.  This is supposed to be the “Holy Grail” for NW cruising with a place called Chatterbox Falls at the head of the inlet.  Will post photos.
