Once the rain died off at D’Arcy Island, we raised the anchor after a battle with the kelp, set the sails and headed around to Sidney on Vancouver Island. The weather was perfect with enough wind to help us practise with our Genoa, Main and Mizzen and even tacked successfully on the approach into Sidney harbour. Our anchorage is in the beautiful Robert’s Bay and so far the only ones here! After a phone all to Van Isle Marina, we took our dinghy to a slip that they let us use for free while we went on land for some good old fish and chips (by far the best we’ve had in Canada when comparing to uk!) at FishOChips -highly recommend!!
