Colby,

Just as we cut across the NW corner of Whisky Gulf military training area near Balenas Islands, there was a Securite Notice from the Coast Guard that the area was closed and training was to begin once two small craft left the area near Balenas Islands, that would have been us. Whisky Gulf is used for torpedo training and I think being in shallow draft C-Dorys we would likely have been safe should a torpedo come out way.

Sorry about the ice cream comments. But here is an idea. Get a bigger freezer and sell overpriced Ice cream cones at Chatterbox Falls. You probably could pay for your fuel with the profits.

Jay, glad to hear about Jolee's surgery and it being successful. Enjoy your land travel up to Skagway, and then the water portion as well. Sure wish I could talk Rosanne into joining me on the Inside Passage, but until that happens, chances are low I'd make another trip up there. Colby

Please count Kerry and I in on the Princess Lousia cruise. We have boated the area some time ago when we owned the Boston Whaler Conquest. We took the ferry across to the Sunshine Coast and launched out of Earls cove, it was a great trip.

Hi Rick. Glad to see that you and Kerry are signed up for the Friday Harbor gathering and that you have interest in the PLI trip afterward. I have a feeling that most folks will break into small groups for travel to PLI. Telephone reporting sites are Bedwell Harbour and Nanaimo. Colleen and I have NEXUS Marine and there is a possibility that we will check in at Ganges, get provisions and continue north. Ganges is not a telephone reporting site. The links below show reporting stations for telephone reporting sites and for those enrolled as NEXUS Marine members. Gary

Gary, just curious what's involved in enrolling in Nexus, and why did you chose to do so? (I could google what's involved, but just being lazy. lol) Colby

Ok, never mind on what's involved. I ended up looking it up. I'm too cheap to pay the enrollment fee. The phone call at Bedwell has worked out well, and then I use the CBP roam for returning.

For dog owners who will be taking their dogs into Canada, there are new requirements to re enter the U.S.

Here's information from CDC and associated form to fill out for each dog.

I'm working to clear my schedule and attend the Friday Harbor gathering and join in on the PLI cruise. I appreciate all the information from the seasoned boaters into Canada as this will be my first trip with my C-Dory. A special thanks for the info in traveling with a dog as I plan on traveling with my first mate, Tango.

Karl,

I hope that you are able to clear your schedule to attend the Friday Harbor event in May. The link below is from a 2019 photo with you and Tango preparing to venture out in Shallow Bay at Sucia Island. We are looking forward to seeing Tango again and you too! Gary and Colleen

I would also like to join in on your trip to PLI after the get together at Friday Harbor.
I will be traveling with a friend and my little Dog "IGGY".

We plan to head for Alaska at a slow cruise for 2 - 3 months after PLI.
