Nanaimo - Harbour Beauty

The kayaking objective on this day was Nanaimo harbour. At some point this beauty came into sight. Need I say more?! WOW! And a postcard view you'd only get from a kayak.

On May 16, 2013 Fraser Yachts shared news of a $12.5 million price cut on the $59,740,000 expedition yacht Ulysses. Ulysses has a rugged steel hull and aluminium superstructure and is powered by twin Caterpillar engines. Accommodation is for up to 16 guests in a master suite, five double and two twin cabins along with three Pullman berths.

Nanaimo - Bucking Wind and Waves in Cedar

There's little I can say about this scene except that I enjoyed watching the skipper fighting the elements trying to maneuver his craft into the position he wanted.

Rowboat in Nanaimo Harbour

On this January day I had gone down to the harbour in Nanaimo to admire the docks and boats enveloped in fog. I was not disappointed. But, while taking my eye off the fog so evident a metre of two off the water, this little gem very clearly just begged to be photographed. CLICK!

Nanaimo - Anchored Freighter; from the Gabriola Ferry

The Nanaimo to Gabriola Island ferry often passes freighters, anchored as they await a berth in Nanaimo Harbour. This day, as Norbi and I are on our way to to do some exploring of the island we skim by the bow of the Geiranger.
