CANADA
Lots of boat traffic as we head up to British Columbia. We are traveling on a lovely clear day. We are hoping that by entering Canada after Canada Day that we won’t have much traffic at Customs. Fred pulled out our folder of “Official Stuff” that has our passports and Nexus cards thanks to Jason, Heather and Ann (remember, they got to go through all kinds of our boxes in storage back in alameda because we left these documents at home when we came north?). Fred called Canadian Customs just as we crossed over the invisible dotted line that separates our two countries. They gave us our Customs # 20101830375 and said if there is no one on the Customs Dock in Sidney that we can go right to our slip. As luck would have there was no one at Customs Dock. We are assigned D-706. The Irzyk’s boat, Golden Dawn, is not in her slip. These are old friends from Alameda who moved back to Boston 2-3 years ago. When they started cruising the Inside Passage 10-15 years ago we were invited to come up for 2-3 weeks a year to cruise with them. We have many fond memories of week-ends and vacations on Golden Dawn. Cathy & Bob were gracious hosts and allowed us to spend time with them from the San Juan Islands, WA to Ketchikan, Alaska. Cathy called back in April and said that this year they were coming up only to remove there personal belongings and that Golden Dawn was heading to Seattle to be sold. We took a walk up to our favorite fish n’ chips place on the West Coast, Hyland’s, for dinner.
