you would think with all the planning John did that the trip would go ultra smoothly. But the gps didn’t kick in until I was already heading the wrong direction. But despite the top heavy weight from poor packing made it the 15 
minutes to the ferry dock. One mirror was swinging loose and during the ferry ride I and a very helpful trucker (also a Harley rider) managed to secure the mirror. Made the trip to Duncan by 10:30 and enjoyed coffee with Garry. Had our photo op together and travelled back to Nanaimo to see ‘little David’ , Shellie and Andrew. At the house Andrew and Tia regaled us with stories of sporting exploits. I crashed early ….the unexpected heat really getting to me.
