Curious, but shy iguana
Iguanas run around wild on the lawns here on the island. This big fellow hung around on the dock where we tied up our dinghy. Meanwhile some of his cousins had claimed one of the sailboats, making it their lounge pad. If you chase them, be surprise…
June 1 – Campbell River
We are tied up in Discovery Harbour Marina in Campbell River after a short passage from Gorge Harbour. Our next challenge is Seymour Narrows about 9 miles upstream from Campbell River. Typical max ebb or flood current is 10 to 15 knots. By a sl…
Old Town Marmaris
It is definitely a different season here at the Marina. Lots of boats have left their winter hardstands and are in the water or off cruising. The morning radio cruisers net that took too long now is over in about 10 minutes. I guess …
May 31 – Gorge Harbor
The relentless grind north proceeds. We departed shortly after 5 AM to start our 80 mile day north up the Strait of Georgia. This body of water is the northern section of the newly designated Salish Sea (the southern portion includes Puget Sound)…
5-30-2011 – Silva Bay

Palamutbuku and Knidos
The two carpet shops we’d gone to see in Datca were no longer open so we decided to go visit Knidos at the tip of the Datca p…
Ready to Leave (almost)
We moved onto the boat yesterday and will use today for settling back in and doing a final shutdown of the house. It is amazing how much we’ve forgotten in the nearly nine months from not having lived on the boat. We also like to do a couple of nigh…
Datca, Knidos and Palmutbuku
Tomorrow is our 12th anniversary! Amazing. "When you start on your journey to Ithaca then pray that the road is long." So all I want for my 12th anniversary is another 12 and another 12 and another 12…..which will…
