Gibsons

I awoke early the next morning, and as quietly as I could, started the diesel and raised the anchor, aiming to be in Gibsons before lunch.  The girls slept a while longer, but eventually joined me on deck and we had breakfast en route.

Cozy on a rare rainy morning

I spent a good portion of the trip down on the phone organizing new glasses for Emily.  To get quick turnaround, we would need to go to Vancouver, which was our plan anyway after Gibsons.

Clear skies again!

Once we were tied up in the Gibsons Marina, we headed up into town for lunch.  We had excellent sandwiches at the Black Bean, which then became my office for a couple of hours while the girls went exploring (aka shopping).

After I finished at "the office", I returned to the boat to fill water tanks, and take up our garbage and recycling.  When the girls returned, they were accompanied by a woman Sara had met who shared some Outward Bound connections.  We had an enjoyable visit over a glass of wine.
