After traveling from Princess Louisa we decided to drop our guests off in Nanaimo and let them catch the ferry back to Vancouver. The anchorage is off Newcastle Island. Lots of boats but plenty of room. You can also stay at the dock for $12 if you are less than 34 feet.. I t is wonderful to be on Newcastle and Nanaimo is only 5 minutes away by dinghy.

Newcastle was famous for its coal and high quality sandstone. Here we see the rollers used in the manufacture of pulp for paper.
