Crossing Boundary Pass Tuesday morning Pete informed me that I had become a homeless alien :). We cleared Canadian customs at Bedwell Harbour, so at least I am a legal alien.
After customs a SE wind freshened. We sailed all afternoon :). We had planned on buying provisions at Ganges but the sailing was so nice we sailed right on past. On Wednesday we went into Ladysmith, BC for groceries, grog, and a marvelous visit with Pete's friends Dave and Pat.
There is quite a lot of smoke in the air from wildfires. The Sun has appeared quite dim and orange as a result. Pat doesn't care for this, but I think it is interesting to see.
We are planning to cross the Strait of Georgia later today (Thursday July 9th). It has been mostly calm the past couple of days with occasional SE winds. This should make for a really nice sea state out there today. This is good since Pat and Betty have not crossed before. I am looking forward to them having a good experience on the "Big Water" today. The slack water at Gabriola Passage is a bit past 11 this morning so we have a very relaxed start to the day.
