Dang! That weekend is one where I am on deck at school for our grad ceremony, so Monica and I probably won't be able to make it. _________________ Mike and Monica Jackson, Victoria, BC

That's a shame Mike we will miss you, especially after you and Monica's good work at the last Canadian gathering. Hope to see you at the Friday Harbor gathering.

Sitting here in Kona and planning this seasons cruising. It'll be great ! We'll move back aboard in March and plan to haul out for bottom paint mid April. Then Gulf Islands heading south for Friday Harbour CBGT. And another week or so in the SJ's. Then back to Nanaimo to visit kids etc Then cross Georgia Strait to Sunshine Coast.
This is the year we'll go to Princess Louisa. After Pender Harbour gathering in June , we'll take some time to go up Jervis to the head of the inlet. Anyone want to come along is welcome.
After this we'll be heading for an extensive tour of the Broughton area. Much to see there. Maybe 6 weeks or so. Whale and bear watching our priority.
Late summer and fall are likely to be spent cruising thru the Cariboo/Chilcotin/ Kootenay areas of BC. A lot of prime lakes and rivers there.
Winter may be a return to Kona.
We'll see.
Enjoying the water and heat in Kona Hi

Sounds great George. Hope you and Carolyn are managing to survive the terrible cold winter in Hawaii. Must be tough.
We are definitely planning on doing the Pender Harbour Gathering and would love to tag along to Princess Louisa afterwards.
Sorry to hear Mike and Melinda won't make it.... work sure gets in the way of having fun sometimes.
Take care,

George and Dan,
I hope the plans for Pinder work out. If I can swing the time I would like to tag along to PLI too. I'm hoping to be able to make that trip on the water from here this time. It could add up to a couple of weeks. Dan, how long are you planning on taking and which way are you going? If you have that figured out yet. It would be nice to be able to go up together if the timing works out.

Less than 4 months to go to the Great Canadian Gathering. Nine of us signed up so far, the list is growing
I'm hoping that a plan can be formed over the next few weeks as to who is taking in PLI and or Desolation before Pender or after Pender? Helps for us poor working stiffs who have to book off holidays.
Martin.
PS. My Canadian passport arrived yesterday. Looking forward to attending Friday Harbor with out the grief US Custom's gave me last year. |

Two Bears just signed up for both Friday Harbor and for Pender. Our plan is to attend Friday Harbor and then spend another week or so in the San Juans. No firm plans. Then return to our truck/ trailer in Bellingham and drive / ferry to Pender Hbr. We'll get there some time between May 25 & June 1st. Then do P.L.I. & Desolation & return for the gathering at Pender. We will then trailer out on Monday after the gathering as Penny is teaching a quilting class on Thursday & Friday and wants some time to prepare (what a spoil-sport).

I think Lori and I would be interested in trailering up to your place and launching there. We haven't done it that way before and would be a fun alternative.

I just found out about this gathering and had never heard of pender harbour before, but looking at the pictures online it looks like a great spot. after reading the comments it looks like giving 3 days each way from sequim would work I too don't know about work as now its getting closer but i will see what i can swing. also We have been wanting to make a trip to nanimo so that way appeals more to us.
having never gone into BC by our own boat before how does it go clearing customs just have passport? and I am assuming only certain marinas can do this. same as victoria and some other spots we want to check out this summer. |

Assuming that you want to be in the Gulf Islands area when entering Canada, it is easy to clear customs at Sidney after crossing Haro Straight. The customs dock is well marked and there is a phone there. Just pick it up and tell the customs guy who you are and what you are planning on doing. Have your passport and boat registration numbers ready for when they ask for them. Customs will either clear you over the phone and give you an entry number, so have pen and paper ready, or tell you to stay where you are and they will come along and see you. Its all very easy.

Come on you Vancouver Island brats, surely there are more than three of us capable of crossing the Georgia Straight to the Pender Harbour gathering? Lets get signed up and back Ian & Jackie with our support. We will show our American friends good 'ol Canuck hospitality and that we really know how to party.
