Our Cruise Thus Far....

We headed out from our slip to Point Roberts.  Dull day really...just a lot of traffic and not much to look at...



One of numerous container ships





One of numerous car carriers 
(at least the container ship looks like a ship)




One of numerous BC Ferry boats





The coal loading conveyors near the ferry terminal





The ugly car carrier again






Canadian Navy Frigate





It really looks like a ship ought to.


Then on we went to Roche Harbour:



Yet again more ships




And sailboats...




And stunning scenery...


Lovely...




Awesome skies..


Roche Harbour




Dressing up for the 4th celebrations


Roche Harbour 



Alas..more motor boats than sailboats by far





Roche Harbour under grey skies



A little environmental art..

Then on to Rosario on Orcas Island and from there back to Canada checking in at Sidney.



A ferry plying the San Juan Islands




Gorgeous scenery everywhere...


The Admiral and our boat dog


Then it was on to Victoria on a beautiful but virtually windless day...



Leaving Port Sidney Marina...Mount Baker in Washington State 
in the background




The Olympic Range in the background as we head south




The ferry from Friday Harbour in Sidney




Another view of the Olympic Mountains as we head south




In Baynes Channel, the Olympic Mountains in the Background




Trial Islands Light



More to come....
