Another day in Nanaimo. The injectors are fixed and supposed to be installed on the engine tomorrow. We are also waiting for the outboard motor of the dinghy to be repaired. It needed a new part and that’s supposed to arrive tomorrow morning. We are going to take the boat out tomorrow, for a few hours, after it is repaired to make sure it is ready to go. Our newest time of departure is Wednesday. Hopefully, the S/V Our Tern will be ready to continue our adventure.
Mary gave me another lesson about chart reading before lunch. Who knew there were so many different symbols on a navigational chart? I’m fortunate that I had my oceanography class before I started this adventure. Otherwise, almost everything would be foreign to me. She touched on teaching currents and I’m sure that will be another day.
Mary took the ferry back to the mainland this afternoon and is visiting her home in Bellingham for a few days. She said she can be back in four hours and will be when the sailboat is ready to go. I already miss talking to her.
Vaughn and I went for a walk around downtown Nanaimo before dinner. We then had a simple dinner of cheese, crackers, and smoked salmon. The entertainment for the evening was looking at the blog Natalie, Vaughn, and their two daughters wrote while sailing for two years down the coast of the Americas.
Hugs to all of you reading this.
