Woke up at Sucia Island to amazing sunrise.

Very calm morning, with a pleasant motor into Canada. And very quick and painless check in process. I can’t believe we’re ALREADY in Canada.

The last two summers, checking into Canada was a BIG deal, and we’d stick close to the customs dock to celebrate.

This year is different. We checked in, raised our Canadian courtesy flag and we’re moving north!
