Still All About Boats, Vancouver

Last week we sailed with our friends Greg and Alex tacking across English Bay in Vancouver. It wasn't quite the San Blas Islands but it was still beautiful to be out sailing again. We started at Granville Island, went out to the tip of Stanley Park and sailed right under the Burrard Street Bridge. Greg performed a "touch and go" so Randy and I could jump off at Quayside Marina; basically our front door. Thanks Greg for a fabulous afternoon. It makes us miss Lost Elvis even more.
Dockwise turned up in North Vancouver (Deep Cove) to move the "fast ferries" over to the middle east. It was really odd to see them up here in this quiet, quaint little corner.











Although it was "summer" in Vancouver, it was a chilly ride up to Deep Cove.
Thea and Cortez trying to keep eachother warm. With Cortez just in from Mexico and Thea from Panama, the two of us shivered together.

Thanks Bob Henderson for taking us up the "Cove" at top speed to watch dockwise. After Deep Cove we stopped at Coal Harbour where there are public docks by the float planes. We tied up there and had lunch at The Mill (doggy friendly) and then returned to the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club at Jericho.
