Saturday, July 23 we awoke to blue sky and glassy smooth water – ahhhh.

Made bacon, potatoes and eggs for breakfast

and were underway by 8:30.  It was a fairly short day today.  We cruised past Orcas Island,

through the San Juan Islands and across the Rosario Straight.

There’s a lot to watch out for while cruising up here like ferries

kayaks

and float planes.

At noon we crossed into Canadian waters – calm seas all the way.  It was such a great day even Huckleberry was smiling.

Our destination is Van Isle Marina in Sydney on Vancouver Island about 20 miles north of Victoria.  Once at the marina Justin masterfully maneuvered the boat around this jetty

and into this little slip.

I am still in awe.  Here we cleared customs and did some chores and errands.  Had dinner at the Sultry Mermaid.  A nice nice day.
