We have left the island and still have a bit of money to spare seeing as though Paul had calculated the BC Ferry to Vancouver was going to cost us close to $400 CAD and when we checked in this morning we were only charged $290 CAD. With the exchange rate we just saved over $125! Whahooo. We bought ourselves breakfast at the Ferry building! Yumm.
We climbed the hill to get out of beachcomber and as we were hooking the car up we had some well wishers.
So cute, but mom hurried them away from the big bad RV!
We made it to the ferry terminal just before the 8 am ferry left but because we had a 9 am reservation that we paid $15 US for they said we had to wait till the 9 to use our deposit! So we checked in and made our way to the cafe to spend some of our savings on a coffee and donut. About 8:30 they called for us to board our ferry.
All parked and cozy in the hull of a ship
The ferry is huge. We were at the front of the boat but because we couldn’t see anything we went upstairs and enjoyed the ride to Vancouver.

Paul was very interested as to why they had …….
Depth charges?
We made it to Vancouver and disembarked. Our next stop is back in the USA at Point Roberts, WA! A funny little town of 5 sq. miles surrounded by water and the only land contact is British Columbia!
