No offense taken, SrormN. I'm old enough to know I ain't perfect and still young enough (somehow!?) to appreciate any new thing I might learn.

After reading the rules it is easy to see why we were told to leave the fish whole. It is just a helluva lot simpler that way. If space is a consideration then a person should be able to puzzle it out.

I took the Port Angeles/Victoria route because I love Victoria and wanted some cigars. I don't particulary care for Cubans but, with such a favorable exchange rate, good Dominicans are an excellent value in British columbia. No big problems going either direction although the ferry was loaded to the gills on the way back.

Looking forward to learning more about the Vancouver Is. west coast. It is my kind of country.
