Up at the crack of dawn on Saturday, we mostly power and partly power-sail to anchor overnight in Clam Cove, between Kuper and Thetis Islands. Our trip up the Trincomali Channel was uneventful, save earlier, when we dodged two passing ferries in the Swanson Channel. We had a very peaceful night at anchor. Someone named Joe relayed our position to Barbara for the Great Northern Boaters Net Sunday morning. Propagation was zilcho from Clam Cove to Sidney. Later, we departed at 10:00 a.m. in order to reach the Porlier Pass between Valdes and Galiano Islands close to slack tide at 10:45 am. Averaging 7.43 knots, we sailed 65 percent of the way from Clam Cove to Vancouver, arriving at 2:15 pm. We're staying two nights at the Vancouver Rowing Club (where a very friendly person, Michelle, checked us in). Tomorrow, we're taking the Hop-on/Hop-off bus around town, so more to come!

This mural at False Creek Yacht Club gives a taste of the artistic flavor of the Island.
Clear Water
Beyond Vancouver Island's sunny shore, you can see the clouds just waiting for their chance to move back in!
Winter Sunrise in Sidney
I'm up in time to catch this sunrise as seen from the cockpit of Last Resort as we are moored in Port Sidney Marina. It's great to be getting out on the water, again!
Crazy Sidney Sailors
Forgive the poor quality of my cell phone's camera, but thought you'd like to see these sailors racing in 25-35-knot winds!

Happy Holidays!
Living in transit means it's hard to exchange Christmas cards. So, please accept my best wishes for the Holiday Season.
Granville Island
Liz Gregory's cool island houseboat community was adorable.
Fabulous Vancouver
Dick's photo of this fabulous city is my new favorite! By the way, Dick has updated our log with our trip from Ensenada to Alaska on www.voyagesoflastresort.com.
BC Ferry
This reminds us that Vancouver will host the Winter Olympics in 2010.
