May 31th, 2008 We got an early start today and caught the 7 AM ferry to Vancouver Island. Unfortunately early means rushing. We rushed out the door with no map, no cell phone, no spare tube and no ferry schedule. We survived because we met a lot of friendly people on the road. We made it to mile 0 By asking a lot of people for directions and we had our picture taken by the first passerby we found. On the way back we had a good tail wind and got to the ferry in good time for the 4 pm ferry. Unfortunately there was no 4 pm ferry and we had to wait for the 5pm ferry. While we were boarding we discovered my tire was flat and we had no spare. Fortunately we met a group of girls who had done a 2 day bike tour and gave us their spare tire because they had just finished their tour. So we completed the day in good shape, just a little late. We’ll be better prepared for day 2. Tomorrow we head for Chilliwack.

Good Job dad. Not used to early mornings anymore eh? Remember back in the day when you were working, you would get your things ready the night before...you should go back to doing that.
