Monday, July 15 Cameleon Harbour to Campbell River, 2 ½ hours, 26 ½ miles



We are traveling down the east side of Vancouver Island to get home.  The trip is quite beautiful.  We had to time our passage through Seymour Narrows.  And made it accurately.  We had a 1-2 knot push though the narrows and headed for Campbell River Discovery Marina.  We were assigned the first slip in G Dock (all side ties).  This sounded fine until we got a good look at the dock.  It is full except for our slot way up toward the shore.  We always do a starboard tie so Fred had to rotate the boat 180 degrees and slip into this space which only has room for us.  Fred did it perfectly.  There are young people on the dock to help and even they were impressed.  The service is great here.  As soon as we were tied up they asked if there was any garbage they could take for us.  Well, yes, we had two bags and were glad to be rid of them.  We asked at the dock office where the best fish n' chips could be found around here (there are several restaurants nearby).  We were told that the best could be found at  Seabreeze.  This is a take-out but they have picnic tables in the shade.  The fish n' chips are good but we have had much better.  It is so hot that I gave Merlin a cool shower (he needed it anyway).  He was not pleased but I think he was more comfortable.


Pretty good fish n' chips
