Entering into Canadians water and receiving a month of passage was less eventful than it was last year in Sidney, BC. It helped not to have wind causing havoc at the docks as well as hearing the questions at the phone on the dock with the immigration officer at the other end. Sue had been thorough to empty the pantry of all fresh vegetables and virtually all fresh food by the time of entering Canadian waters. We were excited to have a perky little village nestled right at the water’s edge to re-provision our home. This is a resort and spa and to our dismay, not a stopping point other than registering with the country. There is a very small bakery with limited goods, a wine and liquor store, and the resort and spa, no grocery store. The children were extremely happy with the freedom to swim in the pool while their parents dosed or read a book in lounge chairs while keeping one eye on them. This a perfect treat for the children, after spending days or weeks on the water, knowing full well that it was too cold to venture in.
We dined in the Pub on fresh salmon and edamame beans. Sue has recently read how great they were. We were disappointed and will use them in a soup, or not. However their color, a lovely bright green is refreshing to look upon.
Sue is terribly disappointed with the acquisition of the upgrade she bought from BBX. She feels like she got sold goods that don’t qualify for the recommendation. Perhaps we will have better luck in Ganges tomorrow filling the pantry.
