This morning we are off, on our way to Clam Bay at Thetis Island. That's not very far, as the crow flies but it will take us about five hours to get there. In Clam Bay, we will set anchor for the night and start the process of taking Blue ashore in the Boston Whaler, about three times a day. We haven't had to do this before now because we've always docked at marinas. With a dog who doesn't like to walk through a puddle, wading ashore should be...interesting.
The boat is truly ready now. We have serious provisions including a well-stocked galley and freezer, a good first aid kit including an AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) which (G-d forbid) we have both been trained to use. Nevertheless, we are out of milk (gah!) and will not have anywhere to buy it for days. So, one more trip to the store and then we will be off. Really.

We will miss our marina in beautiful Tsehum Harbour. Here is a "before" photo on the morning of our departure. Hopefully, the "after" photos (of the boat and of us) will not be significantly different.
Oh my goodness that is a large boat! I did not picture it well in my mind before.
