Nanaimo to Bedwell Harbor

With winds howling at forty knots the day following our overly-exciting trip down the Strait of Georgia, we stayed nestled in the safety of our slip in Nanaimo. After weeks so far from civilization we spent the next couple of days indulging in creature comforts, which mostly means pastries and coffee and bookstores. Winds calmed the next day and we set out for Ladysmith where we repeated the formula above, followed by more of the same at our next stop, Ganges. On our last night in Canada, we finally broke free of this calorific routine, mooring in Bedwell Harbor, near Poet's Cove, where we hiked to the top of Mount Norman.
