We left Roche Harbor this morning under foggy conditions. As many of the boats on the flotilla are equipped with AIS as well as radar and chart plotters, we decided to head out and keep the fleet grouped tightly together. Patos was asked to bring up the rear, as they transmit an AIS signal. This …

Our trip is drawing to a close and today we would visit our last destination before returning to our home port of Bellingham tomorrow. The ride to Roche Harbor was quite pleasant with another day of flat calm seas. All the boats took their turn clearing customs as this was our first time back in …

The ride from Garden Bay to Chemainus across the Strait of Georgia was thankfully very calm. The most interesting part of the trip across, besides the many tug and tows that we had to bob and weave around, was the fact that Whiskey Gulf was active today. This in itself would not have been all …

We left Grace Harbour this morning under clearing skies after a night of rain. We made our way back around Sarah Point, saying goodbye to Desolation Sound.

Although the conditions were just as calm, the rain had set in and there were low clouds covering the amazing peaks we knew were back there somewhere. We were all very grateful that we had gotten the glorious day of …

We departed Madeira Park at 0700 and set off for Princess Louisa. The sun was just barely rising as we made our way out of Pender Harbour. There was a crispness to the air that reminded us that fall was definitely here. As we headed out into Agamemnon Channel and past the Earls Cove ferry …
