We have a new tilt motor,and are heading out bright and early tomorrow to Port Alberni, where we will launch and spend a few days in and around the Broken Group. See you all before too long! Bill and Dorothy Blue Skies

May we have a photo album?

Sad to see everyone go. It was a wonderful get-together, and we are looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Happy boating! Bill and Dorothy Blue Skies

We've lost track of the boat count - 26 perhaps? It is a great turnout, and thanks all for braving the winds to get here. Tomorrow we have a good day - breakfast 9-10 am prepared by our own chefs Blake and Rhonda; geocaching seminar and walk led by Connie Paradis (Noddy Bleu) starting at 1030...

Geoff and Aline, So sorry you are not with us, and we completely understand - the wind was howling from the southeast south of Dodd Narrows and up into the Ladysmith area. And it sounds as though you were lucky to get bumped up on the painters' list. Next time for sure! Bill and Dorothy Blue...

Hey, C-Brats. Are there any boat christenings desired or planned for Ladysmith? Bill and Dorothy Blue Skies

The Grainger Dougs will be checking out around 11 am on Friday the 24th, and check in for the C-Brats is any time after that. We are booked at 7 pm for dinner at the Fox and Hounds (not 6 pm as we earlier said). Kids are welcome. Dorothy and Bill Blue Skies

Hi, Blueback. We are looking forward to meeting you. There will be C-brats going both north and south after the CBGT so we are sure you'll find some travelling companions. Bill and Dorothy Blue Skies

Hi Blake, I think it was Drewbird II, from Fanny Bay. Had my eye on those portholes as a future project for Blue Skies. Bill

There shouldn't be any problem with one licence one crab pot as you are allowed two pots per licence. Stay within the possession limits and you will be fine. Salmon fishing is more complicated -two people one licence equals one fishing rod, if everyone on board has a licence then as many rods as...

Thanks for the link Harvey, I am enjoying their progress. It is starting to look like each team is in their own race. Spotted the lights of Team Elsie Piddock sailing by off Nanaimo at about 1am this morning. An amazing race! Bill

Hi Martin, Blues skies will be heading south to FH on the 14th. We are arriving in Nanaimo on the 11th so lots to do to get the boat ready and out of storage in the time available. Let us know when you are passing through. Bill and Dorothy
