Two nice encounters in Comox

While docked in Comox, I got a chance to talk to the owners of the big sister to my boat, a Yamaha 33. The family were cruising in similar territory to me as they had said "hi" to me when I was anchored out in the Copeland Islands a week earlier. A few days later I see they were also in Tribune Bay when I was there. I got a tour of their boat Irish Whiskey and if I was going to go bigger, that would be a boat to look at. You can tell by the photo that it is well set up for cruising.

The next boat, Dreamspeaker, was recognized by me because the owners, Anne and Laurence Yeadon-Jones are writers of many cruising guides for this area. I have two of their books, one of which I just had to take over and get them to sign it. They also graciously spent some time giving me information on some places I might want to visit on my trip south. They were getting a steady stream of people at their boat with books to sign, while trying to do laundry, buy supplies, email, etc.
