Airship Goes to Alaska 2016 We left Roche Harbor this morning after a lovely evening with near perfect weather. Check out the light on the chapel last night! At sunset, the Roche Harbor Color Guard does a flag ceremony where they take down the flags (the Washington State flag,…

I know, there's not been anything interesting here in ages now! That's because we're just at home working (and catching up with friends, and blowing the leaves off the deck over and over again). Kevin's had a couple business trips, and I've been cleaning up my photo studio and preparing…

We left Ganges Harbour on Salt Spring Island this morning around 7:30am. Last night's dinner at the Hastings House Bistro with our friends Michael and Nancy was a great time! I'm so glad we were able to stop here and meet up with them before heading home. The sky was…

Shoal Bay, BC to Melanie Cove in Desolation Sound, BC We left Shoal Bay at 6am this morning so we could be at Dent Rapids by slack tide (7:15am). It looked like this: See those little lights up ahead? That's not a line of several boats waiting for slack at…

It was super calm this morning at Port Harvey and after getting a couple of George's famous cinnamon buns (and a bonus loaf of homemade bread!) we said goodbye and headed for Johnstone Strait. Johnstone Strait was not bad at all, even though we were supposed to have current against…
