TyDewi Heads Down to Ladysmith

TyDewi sets off on her first sail (motor) from Nanaimo to Ladysmith. It is a three hour trip, with only the Dodd's Narrows to add a little excitment into the journey. Once through here however, the scenery is breathtaking. Kayakers take advantage of the calm, warm weather, seals pop their heads up for a peak, and we keep a watchful eye out for logs! A new hazard for us up in these waters. It helps when birds sit on them! We met up with our friends at Page Point Marina nearLadysmith and have enjoyed a wonderful 24 hours here. Gesa even enjoyed a little time ashore with them as they searched out some local artisans. At Yellow Point they found a delightful garden gallery, fifteen years in the making. Gesa could not resist our first purchase of Vancouver Island art..a moose!! Now we just need to figure out where to store it. It is an exceptionally amazing place here, where else can you say you have seen seals, a bald eagle, heron, woodpecker, racoon, mink, and squirrels all in one day?!
