August 15 Wednesday- another early rise as we have 2 rapids to go through. A very heavy dew falls on the boat last night .We get a good start and go all the way to Powel River. The first stop is the internet café. Shelia and I walk the lower part of town checking out art galleries Garry Salmon was here when we arrived with his new boat. He left and Rick and Beverly took his place. Shelia and I had our last game of scrabble.

August 16 Thursday- Pender harbour. We get a 9am start. The weather is changing. The water is a little lumpy but nothing we couldn’t handle. Bill drives on top even though it is pouring rain. I was nice and warm downstairs with the bus heater on (wimp). We arrive in Pender Harbour 12:30 and the sun is showing it’s face. We get a call from our wagon master for our Australia trip wanting to know if we wanted to sigh up for some extras. One was the bridge walk in Sidney -$185 . I dicided it was a once in a lifetime experience so say yes Bill doesn’t want to, I also sigh up for a $80 one hour massage in New Zealand. Clark and Shelia are here too and we go for a walk to the far end of the lake. There art 9 BYC boats here tonight and it pours rain all night.
