Sunday, September 8 - Roche Harbor, USA to Poet's Cove Marina, BC, 1 hour 10 miles

Welcome back to British Columbia, Canada.  Haro Strait is calm until be pass by the north side of Stuart Island.  The water got pretty choppy there. Fred called up Canadian Customs to request clearance to enter Canada.  We are heading to Bedwell Harbour on South Pender Island.  They have a large Customs dock.  We are hoping to get clearance without to go right to our slip at the marina. Thanks to our Nexus cards we get clearance via the phone to go right to our slip.  We usually anchor in the bay here but Fred did some internet sleuthing and found that Poet's Cove is running a mid-week special of $46 for 2 nights, including power.  They usually charge $1.25 to $1.50 per foot!  We got a nice 60' slip that we entered bow-in
starboard-tie.  This gave us a beautiful view of the bay and sunsets.  The resort here is lovely.  The have a beautiful spa, nice restaurants and a coffee shop that makes good lattes.  They have guest WiFi but we can't get on.  There is a guest computer in the hotel lobby that we use.
