  • Anchoring Weather

    We’ve taken advantage of some pretty good weather (no wind/no rain) to spend some days on the hook. Likely to be our last of the season. On Saturday we did something we’ve never done before – stopped along our way… Continue reading

  • Plans Thwarted

    We have once again changed plans and won’t be moving further north. The weather is just not lining up with our “pleasure” boating standard. We stayed pretty much out of the wind while in Gibsons, although the rain definitely came… Continue reading

  • Cap Sante Marina w/the SYC

    We arrived at the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes (just around the corner from where we keep ToG) on Monday to find a few of our fellow Squalicum Yacht Club members already there, with a few more on the way.… Continue reading
