Arrived at Pender Harbour Marina Outstation

Upon arrival, we found that we were the only ones at our Outstation, to be joined later with yacht member. Hank found the place clean, great marina staff (had a tour of some of their cabins), showers were just ok, but the grounds were picture prefect, and the swimming pool
Hank and Caroline took that day tour I mentioned early, a great way to see the Harbor. The tour guide gave a great history lesson of the bay...

We stayed at our outstation for one day, then move to Garden Bay Marina... they have a Pub and closer to the "Town Center", so they can take little Tarkie out and explode the bay.

Tarkie had it's first big ride out into the ocean.... over to Madeira Park... they have a shopping center, coffee shops, liquor store. It was a nice ride around the neighbour (even ran out of gas... but they had extra gas with them).

The plan was to leave early next morning, but the weather was too rough, so they decided to stay for a bit longer and see how the weather progresses.
 In mid afternoon it was decided to at least go back to the outstatio.. On route Hank decided to continue on to Secret Cove.

Lesson learned the hard way... Hank! because we were only traveling to the outstation, the electrical cord, jib sheets, skylite covers, etc. was still topside. Hank found out the hard way, when we were out at sea. The sea and winds were a bit more than expected. All the "top gear" got in the way of sailing; after two hours we arrived at Secret Cove.
