Robbin, VERY well done! I will want to study that again when Patty and I are ready to head up to the Broughtons!
We would not take any ferry, and unless somebody has time constraints, I don't know why anybody would. David on Anna Leigh and I went through the Broughtons in 2006. In fact, one of the frequently seen "random pics" on the C-Brat opening page is Daydream tied up at Sullivan Bay. The building in this photo is in Robbin's pix as well!
In 2006, I launched in Blaine and ran up the mainland side from Blaine to Gorge Harbour to meet David on Anna Leigh in Desolation Sound on our way to Alaska in seven hours, pedal to the metal!
Being retired, here is how we would do it now.
Blaine launch - head over to the Gulf Islands to Cabbage Island for the first night. Cabbage Island to Nanaimo, taking our time with stops wherever we want to. Up Vancouver Island to a point to cross back over the Strait to go up into Desolation Sound behind Texada Island. Around and over to Campbell River, stopping at all the great Desolation Sound anchorages. When conditions are right, out the Johnny, and you are there. No expensive ferries, no bad roads. Wait for weather wherever we have to.
Anyway, that is what I am thinking!

Pat,
What is it that you like about Cabbage Island?
I have a photo, which David took (or maybe you??), of Tosca from when she was your sister-ship Anna Leigh anchored at Cabbage Island. It's still my favorite photo of the boat. Ever since I bought her, I've wanted to go to that place. In fact, I've been thinking of going next Month!
