May 24 - Nanaimo

We decided to save Ganges on Saltspring Island for another day and went directly to Nanaimo since we had some shopping (a prepaid cell phone card for one) that we needed to do here.  North of Victoria, Nanaimo is the largest city on Vancouver Island.

We departed Deer Harbor around 7:30 AM and arrived shortly after 3 PM. Conditions were good although a SE wind picked up as the day progressed reaching 15-20 knots towards the end of the day. Since it was on our tail and we also had the current pushing us, the waves did not build up.

We saw lots of boat traffic since today was Victoria Day which made for a 3-day holiday weekend in Canada.

Today’s mileage – 52.2

Cumulative mileage – 139.3
