The wind has calmed, the water has become smooth, and boats are starting to move about. We could go somewhere else with what's left of the day, but northward the only place to go that's close is Nanaimo. It's busy and noisy and isn't any closer to tomorrow's anchorage than we are now. It makes more sense to hang tight and leave early tomorrow morning. So that's what we'll do.
We did make it off the boat today. The dinghy made four trips, two in each direction with human cargo. I dropped Tina and Sapna off with the garbage first. Then went back for Chuck. We walked the roads for 10 or 15 minutes from one marina to the next one over. The reason for going for a walk, beyond the enjoyment of it, was to visit a small store for ice cream and snacks. We found both marinas to be friendly, but services were limited. The small gift shop with books and snacks was all there was for food. No restaurants.
We might have brought towels and soap and taken showers, but we didn't think of it until we were there. Instead we washed our hair in the bathroom. What a luxury.
