Leaving Texada this morning, we found a pleasant 8-10 kn northwest, so we became a sailboat again, enjoying the quiet downwind trip. The wind (of course) went very light, and Turicum again became a powerboat.

We docked at the VRC outstation in Duncan Cove, Pender Harbour in the early afternoon. Pender Harbour Resort and Marina has cottages and a campground, good docks and facilities. Guests on the club moorage (Maple Bay YC and West Vancouver YC also have space here) have access to the laundry, washrooms, showers, and outdoor swimming pool. From what we saw, everything here is clean, organized and well-run by friendly staff.
As the rules are very specific that we have to fly our Cub burgee and somewhere on the trip we lost ours, Hale busied himself making a new lightweight one.

The weather forecast indicates a change coming; wind going southeast and rain on the way in a couple of days...must be near the end of the trip!

Cheers,
Turicum
