Vancouver sights begin


It's fascinating to see a little tug....

pulling a load like this!
8/28/14 We left Gibsons at about 11:30, heading to Vancouver.  The weather is changing a bit and it’s even windy as we leave the harbor.  It takes about an hour to head back out and then another 2 hours into False Creek.  Vancouver is the most amazing city…. Filled with life and amazing sights everywhere.  We land the boat at a bit after 3:00 PM and head immediately to Granville Island on one of the water taxis.  Can’t WAIT to show Doug and Theresa around.  We decided to head up to one of our favorite “outdoor” restaurants The Sandbar on Granville Island.  It’s just underneath the Granville Street bridge.  We ordered the “Tower” which was a great presentation of crab, lobster, oysters, clams, mussels and shrimp.  THEN, we had dinner.  Played Rummy Tile until 11:00 PM.
