Friday Harbour to Port of Sidney           2 hours          20.8 miles

Flag of Canada

        It was a quick trip to head into British Columbia today.  Fred called Canadian Customs before we enter Canadian waters and we were cleared for entry without stopping at a Customs Dock.  Our Customs # 20131400288 must be displayed in a visible spot on Emerald Star.  We were given a great slip assignment at the Port of Sidney Marina.  We have a side tie at the end of F Dock.  The only down side to this marina is we are behind a huge rocky breakwater and really have no view at all.  However, this marina is located at the end of Beacon St (the main street in Sidney).  We are within walking distance of stores, restaurants and Starbucks! 

Very nice laundry facilities at the marina
