Jennifer and Margaret show up on the 16th. They brought the new Starlink mount to move the antenna onto the railing. It worked great and now the dish is out of the way.
We spent two nights at the Thetis Island Resort. We did not want to be anchored out as a storm was predicted. Although the afternoon was splendid, the winds picked up at midnight. There was a spectacular lightning storm followed by pouring rain. While we were there, the stabilizer tech contacted me with instructions how to identify and bypass the bad sensor. He was fabulous and I quickly had the stabilizers back online.
We headed for Chemainus Wharf where we knew we could get water and stayed the night of the 19th. And then down to Salt Spring Marina for a couple nights. We rented a car and toured the cidery, a couple wineries and some shops.
On the 22nd, we went down to Port Browning, South Pender Island. Along the way, Melissa tested positive for Covid. Dave gave Jennifer anchoring lessons so Melissa could rest.
We arrived back in Victoria (Ship Point) on the 23rd with the hopes to listen to the Blues concerts from the boat. Margaret and Jennifer made the wise decision to cut it short and head home. If they were going to get Covid, it would be better to be at home close to local resources. Melissa and Dave hung out until the 28th working on getting well. Meanwhile, we were tied up in front of Popeye and enjoyed listening to the music and people watching in between naps.
