We couldn't have asked for a better forecast for our crossing of the Strait of Georgia on Friday! Less than one-foot waves, and sunshine, though the haze got thicker as the day went on, and it looked like rain was following us. The mountains showed up better than I thought in this picture!

| And my favorite -- GLOSSY water! |

| We anchored out for a couple of nights. I guess the crossing tired us out more than we thought -- we slept 10 hours the first night. |

| This is Oliver. Can't you hear him? 'Please, sir...?' No, we didn't feed him. |
We left Plumper Cove this morning, and poked around West Bay on Gambier Island. Then we went up the fiord a bit, towards Squamish. This rock is called Mariner's Rest.

Yes, it is what it seems. Read more here:

| It looks like we are slumming it tonight! Al found out about this place on Active Captain. |
Cool neighbors, though! A black bear and geese on shore, a loon crying, seals splashing, a young eagle fishing. THIS is what we came here for!
 |
| Our first bear! |
