2025 Nanaimo Reports

[Rain City]

There is a Dutch store just along the road there. Salted candy! And Walker boats accross the street. You could always just grab a bag of candy and just sit and stare at the boat building going on.
Or maybe that's just my dream.

Maybe I'll leave the family at home next time and do exactly that. I almost took off early one morning just to walk around PNT.

This is such a quiet thread considering the dozen boats I saw at Fingers on the ferry home. Must be just FIRE over there.

What happens at the Fingers stays at the Fingers…

They were probably just whale watching. No fish over there. I can report that The Beach Club is a nice spot for a little family vacay. I've never done the Goats On The Roof deal, that place is great for the wife and kids, terrible for the wallet. Nanoose Bay Cafe had a great happy hour. My wife still won't let me move to the island unfortunately. I'll keep trying.

You should stay in the city

We saw a humpback show at the entrance to Dep Bay, around 3pm? Heard the Orcas were heading north through Dodd narrows also at the same time.
Saw a boat playing something as the large CG vessel was returning from the north. Wife and I were on our walk at Neck Pt.
You'd never look back if you were able to make the move over.
