June 13, 2010

We're ready to head out for the summer (assuming, of course, that the Northwest will actually GET summer this year). The boat's provisioned, the clothes are on board, the new fuel tank has been installed.....we're ready to go. We hope to get Nellie back in the water on Tuesday (maybe even Monday). We will head out as soon as she's in the water. We will try to catch the 7:10PM slack at Deception Pass on Tuesday, then anchor in Bowman Bay and get an early start on Wednesday, hoping to pass through Canadian Border Patrol before noon at Bedwell Harbor and head up to Clam Bay that afternoon. It'll be a long day, since that's a fairly long run, but we'd like to get into Nanaimo on Thursday afternoon.

We'll try to update the blog at every opportunity - Nanaimo being the first place we are likely to have Internet connectivity. I will post pictures of the beautiful Broughton archipelago as soon as we get there.
