We headed west on April 8th ahead of an impending storm, but it caught up to us in the Rogers Pass and we spent a good hour at speeds below 40kph. Get used to it...our boat does no better than 7 knots flat out. That's like 8 mph for you land lovers! 2200 knotical miles round trip.......hmmmm.....like back to my tractor driving days.April 12th was lift out day for bottom painting, hull polishing, replacing pinstripping and changing out zincs. Steel Eagle is all shiny ready to head North!
Then we splashed her back in on April 14th and off to Nanaimo to our new slip. Great fun meeting new neighbors and old friends, Richard and Corrie Solinas.
Off to the "Dingy Dock Pub" for a glass of tea.
We now await the arrival of Larry and Bev Winters for our scheduled departure north on Tuesday the 20th. Gayle Ward is already here and assisting Wendy on the provisioning task.
