Pender Harbour Sunsets

Pender Harbour, about 40 nautical miles North of Vancouver , on the so-called Sunshine Coast, is one of our favourite places. It has a lovely sheltered harbour with several marinas and lots of places to anchor. There is no "town' as such but lots of homes and cottages and little stores in various different areas,

Today we launched our dinghy and went to the Madeira Park area where there is a marina and, a few hundred yards inland, there is a decent sized IGA grocery store as well as a bookstore and a Government liquor store.

We topped up on some groceries that we could not find in the fresh market at Granville Island but will wait for more fresh veggies and fruit till midweek when we go back to Vancouver again.

Granville island market IS expensive but is hard to beat for choice,  quality and freshness.

As you can see , the sunsets are hard to beat in Pender Harbour.

After supper,we went for a dinghy tour of the various bays around the harbour to check out the other boats and to take some photos, I wanted some new ones of the boat after we had it all polished up this spring, it absolutely looks like new now. Also just had to take some new sunset photos as well as every one is different.

Was another fantastic day today , cloudless sky, light breeze and 25 to 27C, sure could get used to this.
