Gibson's Landing

Beautiful sunny day, not much wind.

Left at  10:45 and did the Autopilot Sea trial  in English Bay which took till 11:30 to get the compass sorted out etc then we set out for Gibson’s Landing.

The Autopilot finally worked as it is supposed to and we had a good trip over arriving at  1:15 PM. Had lunch aboard then went for a walk up the town to see “Molly’s Reach” a local dockside pub made “famous” by a 1960’s TV series called ‘The Beachcombers” which was filmed here way back then.

The scenery here at the entrance to Howe Sound is fabulous and it is easy to see why it was picked for a TV series.

The rest of the town was not much, the usual gift shops, fish and chip places and used bookstores but it was a place I had always wanted to see and it seemed a shame to miss it when we were so close by.

When we arrived back at the boat we found the DSM alarm still sounding off so that part is definitely NOT fixed. I am still convince that it is some kind of an electrical supply issue and since we have already spent most of the summer trying to fix it I do not want to leave the area here till we solve the problem once and for all. Will call the Raymarine dealer in Vancouver in the morning and head back there as soon as they can work on it again.
