Engines on at 9:30 and out to hit slack at Seymour Narrows at 12:10. No wind at all but we had to push into a fairly good current the whole way. There was a fair amount of traffic with recreational boats and fish boats, a couple of tugs and tows to go around as well, but otherwise uneventful. We passed through the Narrows about 10 minutes early, and then continued on down to Discover Harbour. They had someone on H dock to grab our lines.

We got settled and checked into the marina and then walked Miss B up to Starbucks for a puppachino and some lunch. Then we walked over to Budget to pick up the rental car that Byron and Sue had reserved for our stay here. Then we drove over to the Thrifty and bought a *bunch* of groceries. We spent more money I think there than we did provisioning the boat in the first place! We didn't buy any fresh fruit or veggies though because we knew we wouldn't be eating on the boat much for a day or two, so we left the veggie buying until Friday.

Back to the boats and spent quite some time putting stuff away. Surprisingly, Byron and Sue and Greg were not excited about going to The White Spot for dinner, and instead suggested the Beach Fire Brewing Company. So we left the B *again* and went over there for a beer and dinner. It was a really neat spot and according to the waitress, they change the menu twice a day. So the only place they put it is on a chalk board in the middle of the restaurant, and the wait staff really doesn't know much about the meals at all! But the descriptions sounded fabulous and their beer was pretty good too! Stouts for us and apricot wheat beer for Sue for something different. All got a thumbs up from this crowd. Back to the boats to rescue the B and some evening entertainment.
