Vancouver B.C.-False Creek

Talk about a different in contrast between the Broughtons and down town Vancouver!  False creek is a fun place,  It is a little bay in the middle of the city lined with shops and restaurants.  There is even a cement plant here! There are several marinas (all full) and anchorage of to the side of the main channel.  Several water taxis are busy delivering their riders to different stops.  People are riding bikes, jogging or walking the path along side.

This is a magical place, well kind of in a different way. We anchored in 20 feet with only 40 feet of chain out and it holds!

The first night we ate at Craft Beer market which has over 100 local beers!  The next day was the farmers market.  We will stay 3 days the bid goodbye to our good friends Chris and Brigitte and head for Friday Harbor.

False Creek will always be on our list of places to stay.
