Day 6


quick update since we are online and paying by the minute.
we made an uneventful, motor trip over to Campbell river; got here about 11:30. After some confusion about the slip we were supposed to be in, we had to spend 1/2 hr warping Tatoosh over to new slip.

Hopefully this stuff works, trying to upload some photos and maps but it doesn't seem to be working.

Impression of Campbell river is one big shopping mall! I'm sure if we got out further we'd see some of the "old" town if it exists. Tomorrow we need to time our getaway so that we make slack at the infamous Seymour Narrows. More on that after we get through

we were unable toget CBC radio forthe past 2 days and I was surprised tosee that Edmonton is still alive and well! We got a Globe and Mail for a treat and will eke it out over the next few days.

We don't need many groceries so we will have a short shopping trip and will be ready to go. We may top up the fuel since we are told this is the cheapest diesel on the Island ( about 93 cents/litre).

cheers for now,
Bruce & Ralph

    Well Very entertaining so far. Sounds like a real variable trip ie either howling or motoring. Best of luck up to Pt Hardy.
