Captain's Log
20:27
Left home around 6am and had a fantastic sail down to Vancouver. Wind started light, building to 15 then 20 knots. Flew the spinnaker for the first few hours, then main only, averaging 6-7 kts. First time in a couple of years that we have taken the boat into Vancouver, and a lot of fond memories.
A long passage, but the whole crew did great although a little tired on arrival.
Tied up at the VRC marina and had a lovely dinner with Nick and Cata.
