Friday the 13th was a great day for us, it was like Christmas morning. After what seemed like an eternity we took possession of Sand Dollar II in Nanaimo and brought her home to Snug Cove on Bowen Island.
The day was sunny and warm, a little breezy with winds 15-20 knots from the NW. We left Departure Bay and the seas were a 3-4 ft chop but Sand Dollar handled it beautifully.
As we pulled into Snug Cove after our 3 hour crossing my cell phone rang. It was a friend of mine who is an auxiliary RCMP officer. He thought it was us coming home with our new boat and he wanted to make sure. He saw us while out on the RCMP boat doing checks around the island. We invited him over to have a look.
I'm sure our dock mates wondered what we could have possibly done to warrant a visit from 3 RCMP officers as they made their way down the dock and boarded our boat 🙂. They gave her their seal of approval and were on their way. We then proceeded to undertake "moving day" as we loaded in everything we had taken off our R-29. It's most impressive how much "stuff' will fit on this boat.
We proceeded to christen her that evening with friends over champagne, ensuring a little of it went on the bow. We enjoyed a totally relaxing weekend on our new pride and joy, and now anxiously await TGIF so we can head back. We absolutely love our new boat, the crew in Monroe did a great job! The cockpit is fabulous on this boat, easily seating 6 for dinner and still room to move around. Bob & Nita your reserved seat awaits you in Salt Spring.
We are so looking forward to our journeys this summer and meeting up with many of our TugNut friends on the Desolation Cruise and in Bremerton.
See you on the water
