Salish Sea slowly reopens

Please note that we stopped updating this blog post on July 5, 2020 so we could go off-grid cruising. Much of the information below and the status of marinas will begin to change almost immediately.

Canada and the US have agreed to keep their shared border closed to non-essential travel until July 21. This includes boat travel for recreational purposes.

The border was first closed at midnight March 20.

Meanwhile, on June 1, British Columbia started reopening provincial campgrounds and marine parks for overnight use. The layout of some campsites were changed to allow additional spacing, reducing the campground capacity. Some communal facilities such as shower buildings open with enhanced cleaning protocols. Overnight use of mooring buoys and park docks is also permitted.

Washington, which began reopening its state parks in May, maintains an updated list of parks open for daytime and overnight use.

Marinas and docks

The following is current information (until July 5) on the status of many marinas in the Salish Sea which normally offer moorage and other services to transient boaters.

Please note, this information is constantly changing and boaters should call ahead to confirm details before arrival.
