    Vancouver False Creek

    April 29 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F

    Underway by 7:30a this morning. Turned off into the North Arm of the Fraser River to head west, back out to the Strait of Georgia. Nice ebb current behind us. Rounded University Hill Noon Breakfast Point, and entered Burrard Inlet to make our way into downtown Vancouver’s False Creek. Pretty much smooth sailing all the way. The North Arm was filled with log booms along the shore. And various tugs that work them. My favorite being the “bumper tugs”. I’ve seen video of them where they just kind of bounce around rolling to push the logs into position. Before turning off the main Fraser River channel, watched a couple tugs assisting a RORO (roll on roll off car freighter) get docked. Once we were anchored at the end of False Creek, Bill and Mike got their Kaboats down and went exploring. I eventually got my peddle Hobie kayak down, and peddled around the bay here. The three of us are anchored between Science World and the Rogers Arena.Read more
