We made it as far as Comox today and successfully traversed the dreaded “Comox Bar” which requires avoiding a line of underwater boulders upon which numerous vessels have reportedly found themselves aground. Good technical directions are available and we followed them to a tee, crossing uneventfully. We docked at the public marina and were able to walk into town with Blue and have great sushi for lunch (it’s been so long…). Comox is a beautiful small city and one of several coastal cities that boasts the possibility of both golf and skiing in the same day – true I'm sure, but who really does that? We had a great dinner on the patio of a lovely little restaurant. While we ate, Blue lounged on the adjacent lawn with a bucket of water. Comox is also well known as a military base and we remembered Rob's father, Bill, who was stationed here for naval training during WWII.
