Day 6 would be spent in Nanaimo all day. We needed to re-provision and get the boat
ready for the next leg of our adventure, another 100 miles north. Washing the boat and getting everything ship
shape all morning long was no fun for the kids but it had to be done. We figured they needed to get out so we took
them to the park for what proved to be a lesson in kids with behavioral issues. They were like caged monkeys that just broke
free. They really are great kids but is
outing was not their shining moment.
Two carts full of food at the grocery store and we had
everything we needed now all we needed to do is pay for it. The first credit card didn’t go through for
some reason; well maybe they don’t take Discover I thought. AMX same thing, what the @#$%. Last option, the debit card returned the same
result. 3 cards, 3 denied, I was a
little embarrassed especially with all the people waiting behind us. The checker was able to put our transaction
on hold while I figured out how to pay.
Just then, my phone rang. It was
Discover card fraud prevention department.
Apparently they put a hold on the account due to transaction made in a
foreign country, same thing for the
other 2 cards. Good thing I was able to
answer my phone and call the other cards.
I guess you need to notify them when traveling out of country.
The day ended with an awesome air show from the Canadian
Snow Birds that just happened to be going on right above the marina. It was amazing seeing what they do but the
jets were way too loud for Ava. Tomorrow
is an early departure for crossing the Straight of Georgia.
