  • Orca Encounter

    Let me start by saying, this is not my video. We were not inside the Friday Harbor marina recently to witness this…but sure wish we were! A boater we talked to recently shared this video he received from someone else.… Continue reading

  • Victoria to Home

    A good 17-day cruise! Weather was mostly perfect, we didn’t get into any crazy water, currents were pushing us in the right direction…all in all, a very nice trip to the South Sound and Victoria This is a photo of… Continue reading

    I did a much better job with videos this morning! We got a good view from another part of the water front, right next to Pacific Grace, so some video is seen through her rigging, and that of Pacific Swift.… Continue reading

    We arrived in Port Townsend Wednesday, hoping to land at the reciprocal dock at Boat Haven. Alas, another boat had swooped in ahead of us. No worries, they were able to accommodate us in another slip. We took a walk… Continue reading

  • Fish On!

    Pink salmon are jumping all over the place and Malcolm caught his first one this morning, out fishing with his dad. He reeled it in all by himself! (He’s 5!) We had planned to take off Thursday but decided to… Continue reading

  • Montague | Garrison Bay | Home

    There is a chandelier hanging under the Granville Bridge, right by the yacht club and we took a quick walk to look at it Friday afternoon. (The FCYC is the red building at the bottom of the photo.) Three times… Continue reading
