Victoria To Port Angeles


The Empress in front of the Victoria Downtown Waterfront Marina
9:24am and we are waiting for the Coho Ferry to dock. We cleared the first stage of customs with ease. Asked a few basic questions about our travels, and who we are, what we do, etc... Brad just needed to flash the woman his charming smile, and make a joke with the officer on guard and all is good! 
The ferry leaves at 10:30, and its about 90 minute sailing. We have been told it can be a rough crossing which for Brad and I who are prone to motion sickness might not be such a great mix. Lets hope its a smooth sailing or the gravol kicks in fast!
I feel a sense of freedom now that we have left the Island and are in mid sea on our way to Port Angeles. If we can only pass the second stage of customs with as much ease on the Canadian side I will be happily smiling knowing that I have escaped the Island. Don’t get me wrong its an amazing beautiful place, and I am ever so thankful for having growing up in the Cowichan Valley but over the past few years just too much bad luck has crossed my path and I feel this is a new start to something bigger and greater.
Excited that we are finally on the road. Now the adventure can truly begin!
