Nanaimo harbour, Cameron Island stroll

It was December, and the rains had let up for a bit. Not in the mood for hilly or muddy walking, I headed for Nanaimo's downtown; specifically, the harbour. In this post, I'll feature my views as I rounded Cameron Island (which really isn't an island anymore).

  The sun had been out long enough that the boardwalk was dry and no longer slippery (2015-12-08)

Watching the comings and goings of the Protection Island ferry (in this case the Island Queen) is always a pleasant diversion (2015-12-08)

As part of the Cameron Island "circumnavigation", I watched the BC Ferries vessel MV Quinsam depart for Gabriola Island (2015-12-08)
