Touch of Gray & The Motterhome

  • North Saanich | Victoria

    Our oysters in the half shell, the spinach dip, and the mussels from 1948 Bistro at Mañana Marina were all excellent. Again, very nice facility and we hope to visit again. We needed a stop over on the way to… Continue reading

  • Manana Resort & Marina

    There have been changes to a couple of marinas in this area over the past few years. Mañana Resort & Marina is the latest. There has been a marina on this spot since 1948 and this latest iteration is spectacular.… Continue reading

  • Nanaimo | Ladysmith

    As is often the case, little to zero cell coverage and no Wi-Fi at times. Video of moon jellies in Tod Inlet take two: We finally got into the Sea Life Centre on the Telegraph Harbour Marina dock. It’s a… Continue reading

  • Thetis Island & Telegraph Harbour Marina

    I forgot to upload this video of moon jellies in Tod Inlet: We’ve visited Telegraph Harbour four times, the first being in 2022 when we attended our first American Tug gathering. We missed it last year. There have been some… Continue reading

  • Otter Bay Marina & Unexpected Friends

    Fun boating trip so far! Except for the fridge; more about that later. We left home on Tuesday morning with no firm itinerary, just a general idea of heading into B.C. and the Gulf Islands. After loading our stuff we… Continue reading

  • Forgot some photos…

    Couldn’t leave out these yellow-bellied marmots soaking up the sun at Palouse Falls! Continue reading

  • Now that’s a FALLS!

    But first… The group at Va Piano Winery: Walla Walla weather did not cooperate fully but we got in some nice walks and a good dinner at Saffron. The Blue Valley RV Park was pleasant, nice landscaping and facilities, despite… Continue reading

  • On to Eastern Washington…

    Seaquest State Park is definitely a keeper. We had so much fun with the kids… good meals, and a couple of trips to the Visitor’s Center. The volcano exhibits are impressive and the wetland doesn’t disappoint. There are many hiking… Continue reading
