Weather permitting, that is - we hope to leave next Saturday morning, Nanaimo Sat night, Pender or Egemont Sunday night, and up to PL on Monday.
We've not been there before, so I do have a question.
I've poured over the guides and see two things that concern me when taken together. First, that it's a very popular cruising destination (duh!) and fills up. Second, that there aren't many alternate anchorages available because of the steep dropoffs.
So I'm concerned that we get through Malibu and to our destination only to find no room at the inn. And at that point we're six hours 'til the next ebb water at Malibu and still not close to anywher we can drop hook for the night.
Am I being paranoid? Any thoughts/hints/experiences greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
