We cleared Customs today. We're now legally in Canada. I have a little roadstead on the west side of South Pender Island that's a favorite spot to anchor. We've had it to ourselves every year but one. A few years ago I weathered a big blow at this anchorage quite comfortably. I don't expect much weather this time.
The nice thing about this anchorage, aside from having it to ourselves is that it's a really short dinghy row to shore, then an uphill hike to a Ridgeline that has a nice trail. Exercise is good.
It's at about this time that our avocados always ripen, so I will forever associate Bedwell Harbor with tacos. I've had many here over the years. Tonight's tacos were meatless because a three pound package of hamburgers didn't make it from the freezer to the boat. Oops. We made them with refried beans instead. I only included a can of them because Jeff is a veg. We've got plenty of food, so I'm not worried about going hungry, but I do wonder what else we won't be having... Sloppy joes. Dang.
Last night Claire and Josh fed us in their home on Lopez Island. It was very kind of them and the pork burritos were delicious. They have a nice place overlooking San Juan channel that they operate as an Airbnb.
Tomorrow's a short day. We'll have some time to get off the boat again. This time to explore Canada's first marine park established the year I was born. It's been around a while.
Food is a huge thing on a ceiling trip like this I feel for you
