Journey to Princess Louisa - Day 10 at Granville Island

The weather report looked good for traveling south in the Strait of Georgia as long as we left early. We departed Fisherman's Marina at 7:00 and fairly good seas. We were going with the current and there was some wind which made for some rolling waves that played with people's equilibrium. As we approached Vancouver, we discovered it is a very busy harbor and was full of everything that floats. We saw tankers, kayakers, stand-up paddle boards, large and small sailboats - even a Viking ship.

 

 

 

We found our slips and secured our boats before meeting with the customs folks and getting signed in. Sunshine was the lucky one to be singled out by the customs agents to have their boat searched. All in all, our arrival went smoothly so we set out to do some exploring. We decided today was a good day to see what Granville Island is like and to grab some lunch (or dinner). We quickly saw that we will have a great time tomorrow sightseeing and possibly taking a water taxi to other parts of the city.
