Sailing, Day 1

I flew out to Vancouver, and Don picked me up at the airport. We made a pit stop at Ikea for a mat for the boat, before heading out to Coopers Boating. It's located on Granville Island, a great market area, not unlike the Forks in Winnipeg, or whatsitcalled in downtown Calgary.

Coopers Boating didn't have the boat ready until about 4:00, so we didn't actually get to leave until about 4:30. Motored all the way to Gibsons, because of lack of wind, and also darkness was setting.

ATe supper at Gramma's Pub, and saw the "famous" Molly's Reach restaurant. Molly's Reach, for those non-Canadians is the restaurant in the long-running CBC drama, Beachcombers, which, sadly, CBC cancelled after 20 years. Great show, and very much a surprise to actually see it in real life. And to think, the only reason we saw it was because Coopers Boating didn't have the boat ready for sailing early Saturday.

Weather is cool today.
