So we ended our cruise where we began at Shaw Island. We had a leisurely morning then pulled the anchor and headed to Anacortes where we have many boat chores to do before we leave the boat to go back to Brookings. It has been a great few months. To…

Back in the U.S.A.
Quite a day we had. We left our final anchorage in Canada early in the morning. Jacob had prepared the route on the navigation system and once we had pulled the anchor Captain Jerry turned the wheel over to Jacob, our 12 year old grandson. Not only …
Jerry’s new pests not pets
We spent 4 days anchored at Port Browning on North Pender Island. Port Browning is a great anchorage. There is a marina within kayaking distance that has wifi, nice showers, laundry, and a pub. There is a grocery store nearby and also one of our favo…
Wallace Island
Selby Cove was a very peaceful anchorage but it was time to travel on. We decided to try one more time to get into the dock at Wallace Island. As we neared the entrance to Conover Cove we spied a sailboat leaving the cove. That meant one of two thin…
The Swan Family

Gabriola Island
Heading to the much anticipated anchorage of Silva Bay on Gabriola Island. Another new spot for us. We have not been on Gabriola before so we are both looking forward to this new anchorage. When we arrived we were shocked at the number of boats in t…

It was a beautiful morning and the water was virtually calm so we decided to go down the east side of Vancouver Island which is a route to take only in settled weather. The initial plan was to spend the night at Ford Cove on Hornby Island because we h…
Heading South
A few days ago we were in Bond Sound. Jerry woke up that morning early. Before breakfast he went to check the prawn trap and did a little fishing. By the time he returned to the boat, about 7:30 a.m., he was really cold. The sky was still grey with…
Beautiful British Columbia
It is hard to describe the scenery here. We have been in this area each summer for the last 6 years and still we are constantly saying -ohhh look at that mountain – or ohhh look at that rock wall – or ohhh look at that Bald Eagle – or ohhh look at the…
