Port Hardy is the northern most town (according to my maps) on the east side of Vancouver Island. It's a service town for this part of the country. There are several towns north of Port Hardy, but none shown on the east coast.
Upon arrival, we pulled into the fuel dock to refill the boat's tanks. I don't know if we did this in Sidney - we were near the fuel dock, but I don't know if refuelling took place.
A fishing boat passes our stern.
Captain Nina and Phrater on the fuel dock. Note the large red hose on the dock - that's the refuelling hose!
After settling up for fuel, Phrater came back on board with Nina, who gave Phrater a couple of treats.

As you can see, the boat is a long way below the dock level. We left from the boat's second deck - still a bit of a climb, especially with luggage! The bus on the dock carried us to our hotel for the night.
More passengers alighting.
