Thursday afternoon and the winds were light. We motored outside of Gabriola Island and around into Nanaimo Harbour.Nanaimo Yacht club was home for a day while we walked the boardwalk, washed the boat (well at least one side) and discovered St Jeans Cannery..
A 5 mile plus walk from the Yacht Club takes you past the DQ, Petroglyph Park and into St Jeans Cannery the candy store for seafood lovers. We left with two large bags of frozen fish, smoked and non smoked.
The marine park beckoned. We anchored there on Friday night and saw clear skys, calm winds and a beautiful full moon over the transom.. Lots of boats for the weekend and it is not yet the busy season or even a long weekend.
The wildlife is abundant with fields of deer, geese with their newborns, herons with their pre historic "grock" sound, Purple Martins in the dock nesting boxes and more ...
Great spot - a little busy.
