Friday & Saturday, 7/26/13 & 7/27/13 Salt Springs, BC




Nuttie the Squirrel

With our good luck mascot, and with great weather and calm seas, it was an easy run from Sidney to Ganges Marina, on Salt Springs Island(a distance of 16.75 NM).

  

After docking and watching fellow tugs arriving, we walked into town and lunched at the Tree House Café.

Tugs lined up at Ganges

Time for making new friends and relaxing on day 1 of the trip

 



 

 

 

Saturday was the famous Ganges open air market, and the best thing we found there was our friends Scott and Lily!  They were delayed from meeting up with the group on Friday due to a very rough crossing from Vancouver over the Strait of Georgia.  Happily, they were able to join up with the group in Ganges today.

 

Preparing for Nanaimo--Captains (and First Mates) meeting on the dock.
