Princess Louisa: just the basics
There’s almost nothing about Princess Louisa Inlet that hasn’t already been said, and said so poetically, but maybe we can offer a couple tips to those who are first-timers without flowery prose.
marine destinations
Going wild on Cypress Island
For so long we lived in ignorance of the adventures found ashore on Cypress Island. It took going into the cruising guide business for the fog to finally lift.
Hungry bears & powerful magnets
We had been deliciously marinating in the Eucott Bay hot springs pool at the end of a long day, offering ourselves up as hors d’oeuvres to a wandering grizzly.
Fork in the road to Bag Harbour
Haida Gwaii’s beautiful anchorage at Bag Harbour and the pulsating life within Dolomite Narrows are enticing. You just have to decide how to get there.
Verging on Cape Caution
Four anchorages close to Cape Caution provide excellent protection for boaters awaiting settled conditions to round the notorious waters off the cape.
A summer that tested my limits
Whether it was soaring fuel prices, frosty temperatures or endless rain, this was a year to remember for many cruising the north BC coast. We might wish to forget our reaction when we came face to face with a grizzly.
Discovering Puget Sound, Part 3
Due to a forgetful editor, this final chapter in a three-part series about cruising Puget Sound got filed away. Now here it is, finally, with information about exploring the North Sound.
Pick your crossing to Haida Gwaii
The first decisions Haida Gwaii-bound sailors must make is from where do you cross and where do you make landfall. The options are many.
The other side of Hotham Sound
This peaceful anchorage across from the popular Harmony Islands Marine Park is a getaway for those who like to sometimes do nothing.
Anchoring, a more personal note
A smoothly operating windlass plays a significant role in our cruising, our little business and in our relationship.
