Exiting Nanaimo

We made no more kayak trips since our last report. The one feasible paddling day conflicted with the student art sale at Malaspina, where two of Eli's pieces sold, the "Pet Rooster" and "Odalisque 2". I've finished at the college with two days of giving exams, followed by evaluating the results. After dinner at Aladdin's with the 'gang' tonight, we must start packing for the trip to Sandpoint. On top of the fully loaded car will be two kayaks, while on the rear bike rack will be two bikes.

Monday looks like the best day to attempt Snoqualmie. Our plan is to catch the 5:15 AM ferry to Tsawwassen and then on to the border, where we have some business involving the export of the Subaru to Canada. If we finish at the border by 9 AM and Snoqualmie is bonny, we'll reach Spokane around 4 PM and Sandpoint by 6 PM - a longish day.

We had a good spell here in Nanaimo, but the transition to Sandpoint has us a bit frenzied because of the winter travelling.
