Gibsons to Vancouver, B.C., Canada (25NM)

Continued luck with the weather. We pull into Vancouver in about an hour plus, as we stopped to fish, but they weren’t biting. Speaking of ‘fishing’, Larry’s buddy Dean (and his crew) just happened to fly into Vancouver today for their annual fishing trip. They visit us on the boat for a beverage and we have a great time catching up. The following day we visit some of my Vancouver relatives and enjoy a little family time.

Beautiful views leaving Gibsons with just a tiny wind chop

Flat-calm entering English Bay, Vancouver with Lion’s Bridge and Stanley Park coming up.

A little Life Proof tender with its’ Yacht in Vancouver, Coal Harbour. We talked to these guys (the crew on the tender) in Prince Rupert. The engineer was waiting on a new generator for the ship.

A cold, local Red Truck beer enjoyed at the Harbour Air Bar with a view of the Vancouver skyline and the seaplane operation

Dean and his fishing buddies (Mike in background) stop by the boat for a beer.

Couldn’t resist…the boat name is hysterical…Larry pointed it out to me…

A little ‘Bird Bingo’ after dinner with the Vancouver Fam.
