Port McNeill on the upper Vancouver Island west side is the last good provisioning place before going around the top and down the outside of ther island. We will make a pit stop in Port hardy in a few days to pick up out snailmail. The weather is great as it has finally warmed up, but the wind is still unfortunately on the nose and we are doing way to much motoring. The locals talk about the wind as "prevailing nosers" for those heading up island. We both look forward to turning the corner at Cape Scott and heading south. The canadians we have met are friendly and open. There must also be some sort of buffer at the border that screens out the difficult americans as we have only met great fellow travelers.
I do love being pretired and not having to get up in the morning until I want to usually. Also love not having listened to a real news broadcase for weeks. Hope the world can get along without my permission.

I learned a new term today.."prevailing nosers"....down the road when I least expect it, the weather will turn for the worse and I will be able to use this term to describe the event of the day...whether I am sailing or not....yes, there is a "psyho-social bio screen at the border that screens difficult people of all nationalities and persuasions at the border...
Take care..
Love..
Thomas
