For the next two days we rested our weary bones and enjoyed conversing with the local characters on the dock. After hearing our story, one fellow said: "If you need anything just take my truck to town." We thanked him for his offer but chose to walk to town to buy a new shackle for the dinghy. Along the way we saw a quaint Italian Ristorante called "Toscanos". In need of some comfort food we enjoyed the best Paninis we have ever eaten. We returned the next day also.
We departed Wednesday morning at 7:30 AM at high tide to transit the Comox Bar. It had snowed lightly the night before and the dock was covered in a sugary white ice. Lou had to use great caution as he untied the frozen dock lines. In the distance the mountains were covered with newly fallen snow. We vigently followed the "Red" markers on the sand bar and make the turn at Cape Lazo. We are on the way to Campbell River in a light wind and a smooth sea.
