We’ve had wonderful cruising. A couple very long days, and some really short days with just a two hour or so jaunt. Yesterday we had to stop the boat in the middle of the channel for the Orca Whales. It’s so great. We’ve been looking hard for a bear, and we know they are out […]

We left Shearwater at 8 am this morning, in the rain. The Waggoner Flotilla was also in Shearwater and they also left. About 10 boats altogether. We knew we had 2 areas today that we needed to arrive at the correct time so the current would be less going through a narrow inlet. Perceval narrows

We left Pruth Bay and traveled to Codville Lagoon. We were the only boat and had stunning scenery. We watched two common loons for the entire evening, calling back and forth for each other, and watched an Osprey fishing and getting plenty to eat. The next day we traveled to the community of Shearwater. They

On Wednesday we left Lagoon Cove early and transited to Port McNeill. It was a lovely and beautiful cruise. We were in Port McNeill about 4 years ago on our other boat, Hideaway. That time we got stuck there for a full week. I just went up to the office and paid for night 3.

We got to sleep in and have a lazy, slow morning drinking coffee on the flybridge. Today we’re moving to Blind Channel Resort and will be in a slip. We’ve been there before and it’s one of our favorites. There are beautiful trails here. Another Nordic Tug came in and tied up right next to

We’ve made really good progress! We’re not in a hurry, just moving along. The high cruising season here is July and August. So, most places I thought we would stop, for dinner, ice cream, happy hour, are closed. The weather and seas have been perfect. After crossing the Strait of Georgia we found a lovely
Well, we’re in the middle of our day. It’s only noon and we hauled anchor at 6 am. Last night we made all the food for today: overnight oats, egg salad sandwiches and a greek salad. About 8:30 we transited the Porlier Pass going with 3 knots of current. May not seem like a lot
