Nanaimo

The temperature only reached the 80’s today. Thank God. Fred & I went over to the races this morning. Then he packed for his California trip. How do men do that? I would have started yesterday and worries and fussed over it. He was able to pack in a small backpack. Fred was ready to go and we were on the boat having a coffee about 12:30 when he received a call from Kenmore Airlines. He was supposed to leave at 2:15 and would it be possible for him to be ready an hour early? He said sure, so we walked up the dock and found a taxi. He is on his way with a promise to check in at each step. Really a bit strange to be on the boat alone with Merlin. Fred called from Seattle and said that Customs was a piece of cake. He was able to sit in the right seat on the plane (next to the pilot). He loved it except the noise. They gave out free ear plugs thankfully.
