ISLENDINGADAGURINN 2013 (CRUISE)


Well, it's Islendingadagurinn 2013 and I've got my Icelandic flags flying and ready for a cruise to Gimli. 


It is almost impossible to get a parking spot if you take your car to Gimli on this weekend.  At least not near any of the festivities.  So, this year we decided we would try going by boat, to see if we could catch some of the action.  We cruised on out of the harbour, to see what Gimli had to offer. 
 

It was a very relaxing cruise as all of the excess passengers can attest. 


But, unfortunately the small guest dock at Gimli harbour was full, so we did a little cruise through the outer harbour and I snapped a few pictures of the Viking Village all set up on Bill's Hill.  (One of my favorite tours)


We waved a quick hello and goodbye, to Barry on John Buoy and to Barb and Mark on Nikko. 


Then we cruised on out of Gimli harbour.  So much for that idea.  Oh, well it's not as if we haven't "Done" the Icelandic Festival before. 


Then we had a further leisurely cruise back to our home port of Boundary Creek Marina, it was certainly a lovely day for it.  In fact it was such a lovely day we should have stopped for a swim, cause you never know what tomorrow is going to bring.   



AHH, HOME SWEET HOME PORT
