Touch of Gray & The Motterhome

Touch of Gray

  • 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

  • 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

  • Gig Harbor

    He’s unstoppable! This one on his first cast of the day! Another thing I forgot to mention. On the way from Blake to Tacoma on the 21st, we pulled into Des Moines Marina to fuel up. We knew there were… Continue reading

  • Tacoma & Gig Harbor

    I forgot to mention another thing we’ve seen while at Blake Island, in the “interesting ships” category: a submarine! After my last post regarding the webcam at Blake, I learned a couple of things from another boater, and someone who… 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
