Summer 2018 is here - another fantastic cruising year!

Well it's been a while since I came here.....lots has happened since last year's cruising season!  It was a short season in 2017.  We spent a month in Europe in September so our cruising time was cut short to accommodate the extra time we took in the Fall!  The trip stories could create another whole blog....

Today, June 14, we are on the water again.  Looking forward to catching up with a few friends that are already up coast (those retired people!).  We left Burrard Yacht Club at around 4:00 pm and its now 8:00 pm and we are about 30 minutes south of Powell River.   We had excellent calm seas, warm sun and now its starting to cloud over.  It helps that the we are cruising with the tide and have had a 2 knot push.... nice cruising at 15 knots.  Probably not so nice when we fill up in the morning.

I assume that due to the nice weather coming in, we are going to see some winds come up tomorrow.  We opted to push on to Powell River as its only a short distance to get back into protected waters (Desolation Sound) and then to run the rapids tomorrow night to sit and wait for a window to jump up Johnston Strait.

Welcome back everyone and I look forward to keeping you updated on our escapades and hopefully some great wildlife spotting.

Bye bye City of Vancouver!

A bit hazy but warm!
