Happy Solstice everyone!! Kerri On is on the hook in Garden Bay Pender Harbour. The skipper is enjoying a couple of fine pale ales. Slow meander north to the Gathering in Powell River. Any c brats around? Wind is kinda boisterous headed west 20-25 on the nose. Malaspina strait is Not to be...

Congrats Brock. Great boat. Enjoy. Kerri On is underway on the Sunshine Coast. Pender Harbour for a while. Today not so sunny. Bring your new boat to Powell River Brock 👍 George

Thanks for putting on the great gathering guys. The changes to Canadian visitors by boat is a pain. The cruising permit now is supposed to exempt under 30' according to the Homeland Security website but last time across with Blake on his NT32 the agent said 'all" visitors by boat. It takes a...

What the others said. Kerri On has run upwind in 35 knots of wind and seas 8 ft plus because I crossed to Port McNiel from Pierres ahead of a day that predicted 50 knots. Safe yes. Comfy not really. Downwind in seas only to 5' and abeam to 5'. I tell you what, I'm happy I'm running my c Dory...

Have a great Gathering. FH is such a great town. We're planning Sunshine Coast to Broughtons starting early June. See some of you in Powell River. Any C Brats coming North, shoot us a PM. George

Just in from two weeks of live aboard Spring trials. All running great except a tiny leak still from original Seastar steering ram. It has always seeped a little. I've carried New seals aboard and this morning put them on. Pretty easy job. A bit of new oil and a bit of a bleed. Nice form...

Hi Peter. I concur with Gypsy that Union Bay just south of Courtenay is a good launch. We've used it several times to head for Powell River and as a first night camping spot for tows North. Lots of room $5 to launch and park. Deal. Interesting history of the little place too. Pub, store and...

Great to see a Canadian event. Count us in. Love Powell River! Great town, friendly laid back residents. Lots of Nature around. Kerri On and crew will be there

Thank you for sharing this. I never met John except thru his album and posts. My loss. Fairwinds to John, family and friends my condolences. George

Hi Casey. Like you I tossed the book at half way. Then I tried again. Made it. Actually a very good read when you get his style. Read it often now. It seems that as soon as you hit the shallows as others have said. It becomes more of an ordeal than a quest. LHM likes the big words and...

I agree CR is a good launch. Nice ramp lots of parking. And all the services you'd need Run around the bottom of Quadra and visit Herriot Bay. The current passes are all easy near slack. Kerri On will be thru there in June. Heading thru all that area for Port Hardy

Interesting. 7 year old topic. First post.

Well said Harvey, Merry Christmas everyone. Your views echo our Harvey, I bought my 19 never having seen a C Dory up close. This site and the people of experience represented what I was looking for. Long may it continue. Looking for more great trips soon. March 1 we unbutton the tarps. See...

Hi Harvey. It works fine $11.99 Cdn plus shipping. $675 US (haha) but otherwise ok. Last year it got here in just a few days. Looking forward to seeing it. Merry Christmas all George

Doh!! :cry just ordered! Didn't see the discount code. All ok though looking forward to the calendar thanks Greg!

Done, PH is a great spot to visit after days of little shore walks and boat cooking. We hope they get the approvals ok

Hi there. We were at Powell in '13 in early March. Very beautiful, not many boats out. Lots of room to park. We had several calm days and one day of 35 knots on the way back to Wawheap. Then a day of 72F and that night it snowed 4 inches! Pictures in my album. Great trip but be prepared...

We know what you mean. In the condo I wake up and don't know where the wind is! It's odd. On the boat there is always something going on. Town life is more sterile for sure. Planning the next trip 6 months a year is too short George

Hi Harvey, Roger is correct, Casey and I wired our boats to take the charge wire off the plug to keep the boat battery up while boaterhoming Brent on Discovery did it also. See his album, I don't think I put mine in an album Simple way at least on the F150 was to get a 5 pin plug to put on the...

Ditto what Harvey said Plus I'd move that anchor to a spare use. Way to small for you. I run a 22 lb claw by Lewmar with 45 ft chain and 225 ft rode on a 22 and feel it's perfect, Many night's I'm anchored on chain In our crowded anchorages I don't worry even at a 2-1 scope. Never more...
