  • Whale Sighting

    Before you get too excited…it was a carcass. You may have read about the deceased fin (probably) whale that entered the Port of Tacoma Monday on the bow of a container ship. I read a little about it and knew… Continue reading

  • Kingston | Everett | Deception

    Another 🦀 limit in Kingston! And another pizza, this time a NY style. Not bad but not as thin and crispy as I like. We moved on to spend a couple of nights in Everett. They’ve rearranged guest moorage since… Continue reading

  • Oro Bay (so nice!) & on to Jarrell Cove

    Oh the sounds of Oro Bay… occasional (and low-level) boats, cars, aircraft, and trains. Wildlife aplenty…and the gentle on and off cycling of a working refrigerator! Boston Harbor Marina, just north of Olympia, is written up very nicely in the… Continue reading

  • 4th of July in Friday Harbor!

    What a fun weekend! So many people on the island! We checked out Kit’s (Nick’s sister) new-to-her lovely condo on Perry Point, met up with Mike and Deb aboard Aris, and also with Steve & Tracey (who stayed at Kit’s).… Continue reading

  • 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

  • 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

  • Genoa Bay

    It was a relatively short cruise (13nm) Tuesday from Tod Inlet directly north to Genoa Bay, on Vancouver Island, off of Cowichan Bay. Not many boats on the guest docks. We were here with Coorie Doon in 2023. It’s a… Continue reading
