Anacortes, WA to Port Sidney Marina, BC


We think everything is in working condition now and we are heading into Sidney, BC with very little time to spare before Heather’s flight arrives. Fred called Canadian Customs at 12 noon and we were given our Canadian Customs # for the boat, 20121680630. We entered Canadian waters at 1257 PM and were able to go right to our slip at Port Sidney Marina  instead of meeting a Customs Officer (they reserve the right to inspect any boat at any time).  I finally ordered a cab at about 2 PM and went to the airport to wait for Heather to arrive.  I arranged to rent an economy car for a couple of days. Heather arrived on time at a little after 3 PM and we went outside to get the tiniest little Mazda I have ever seen.  It was cute but gutless.  Thank goodness this is not a hilly area.  We grabbed the rental car, a Mazda-2, and headed back to  the marina. We were on G-7 dock.  We got Heather settled and went out to our favorite fish & chips place, Hylands.  The food was as good as we all remember.  We dropped Fred back off at the boat and did grocery shopping for the week. Came back, put them away and just relaxed the rest of the night.  Heather was busy taking pictures of the boat and the docks.  We had fun chatting until bedtime.
