Canada, eh!

We passed the boundary line today en-route from Sucia to Pender.  Clearing customs was a simple matter of calling the Canadian Customs and Border Patrol.  Using our Nexus, Trusted Visitor Card, made the process so much easier.  They have the right to meet you at the dock and inspect your boat, but when we arrived there was no agent in sight.  We will be in Canadian waters for the next several months until we head south at the end of the summer.

There are no pictures to upload, but it was a beautiful passage, under sunny skies.  A surprisingly strong ebb current was pulling us to the south and we were literally heading due north by north west to make a westerly passage.  This was a lesson that currents can not be taken lightly.  There were many places where whirlpools set up and if you got too close they could spin the boat around.  They are powerful and can, if one is not careful, get you into trouble.
