Hi,

Looking for a "different" destination once my new engine is running. I
hear the bar at Vesuvius (on Saltspring Island) is worth a visit - is it
open year-round, or does it close for the winter? Is there a dock there?
Can I anchor?

I thought you meant the volcano. I never heard of them turning it off
during the winter. And if you guys had gone to Iraq, you might have fuel.

Hi Bill:
If you knew anything about Canada, you might know that we have more than
enough fuel and we sell our extra supplies to the good old USA.

What makes you think we don't - dip****.

About 400 miles north of where I live there's probably more oil sitting
in the ground than in some of those middle east countries your fellow
citizens are dying in today.

If the Province of Alberta shut of natural gas exports to such places
as the state of new york.... your fellow americans would be freezing.

Your female groping governor is probably trying to make a deal right
now to ensure there is enough electrical energy flowing from Canada
next summer to keep your sorry ass comfortably cool.

Huesta la Vista Baby...... Eh

Same deal on the East Coast.
The vast majority of our offshore natural gas is sold to New England.

Don't tell them THAT! They'll be invading us next (bad enough then Calif
was going to invade us for our electricity...)

Hi Lloyd: Try this www.mobyspub.com/pub.html

Vesuvius is one of our favorite places. Many years ago it was a pub with decent
food. Now it is a restaurant with good food. We've not been there in the
winter, and most of our meals have been enjoyed out on the deck, but I'll bet
it's pretty cozy inside.

There is a small dock at the bottom of the hill. Although guidebooks complain
about ferry wash (There is a ferry from Chemainus) we haven't been bothered by
that. The ferry starts up early in the morning and it can wake one up until the
sound is identified and sleep returns.

There are supposedly anchorages around Vesuvius, but we've looked into them and
haven't found one that we'd want to stay in overnight, or leave the boat
unattended. But we almost always find a spot in the early afternoons in
September.

I guess Jim had his Humor surgically removed under the socialized medical
system after a 10 year wait for a hospital appointment. As to invade for
electricity, might have been a good idea. BC Power was one of those
suppliers, who jacked up the rates sky high when our legislature screwed up
the electrical industry here.

Well dip****, you have no humor, and our Governor can most likely kick your
governor's ass, and our Gov does have a much better looking wife than you or
your governor does. And since I get a large bunch of money from my oil
company investments, as well as one of my career options in early life was
geologist I know a lot about oil and supply sources.
