Ahoy from Westview marina in Tahsis Nootka Sound.
Tahsis is about 1/3 of the way down the outside of Vancouver Island on the Pacific (out) side. Great scenery, lovely coves to spend the night, friendly boaters and local residents. Only thing missing is the sun. Can't really say that we have had any summer yet or at least as we know summer. Left Port hardy and crossed over the top of the island after a stop in Bull Harbor. Since then we have cove and port hopped. Usually we had the cove to ourselves or only shared it with one other boat. Finally have the wind on the stern and can dom more sailing and less motoring. One highlight of the bwestside was being witnesses to the signing of the most recent treaty between the Canadian government and the local first nation tribe concerning ownership of their lives and land. I have Harp to thank for finding out about it and urging me to go to the gathering.
Right now I am sitting before a fire under a canopy on Jimmy Buffet Blvd in a fishing marina. Must get a corona later. Oh to dream of warm Mexican and South Pacific days
