Boy that wind over by Nanaimo is stubborn. Its holding at 14, but just north by Sister Islets its down to 6. And at Sentry Shoal at the north end of the strait its just 4. Over here at Grief Point it is also about 4 and seas rippled. Go figure. Come on Nanaimo get with the program! lol

George, Thanks for posting the Georgia Strait crossing info. I knew it was calm over here but when I looked and the marine weather, Ballenas was blowing 10 knots higher! Certainly was lighter on this side. We're really sorry you and Carolyn can't make it. Your wealth of cruising information...

Just a reminder....... marina is on channel 66A and mention you are with the C-Dory gathering. The marina team are really working at wanting this to be a great experience for us all. No it isn't preferable or ideal that many will be rafted but if we keep a positive attitude like the marina...

Dwight glad to have you join us. I though I might offer you and Peter a bit of unsolicited advice. LOL Back when I was cruising from Sunset Marina to points north I would almost always stay to the north of Bowen and Keats Islands until I got to Gibsons. This route was usually calmer than...

OH, OH! Now you done it Martin! The entire city of Campbell River is going to come down on you hard now! LOL Dave, I don't know whether the coasties will let you get that close to the business end of the boat or not. We will just have to find out. I'm pretty sure they won't be taking us for...

I was just talking about the CCG vessel Cape Caution on the PRCBGT thread and then I find out it has played a big part in preventing the sinking of a large pleasure yacht from California. This all played out in Pender Harbour, just down the coast from Powell River. Of course the locals were the...

Dave great to see that Tiny Town and crew is making their way north. A little wind today but hopefully it will lay down for tomorrow. Things are coming together for the PRCBGT nicely. Anne has been out canvassing businesses for support and has had pretty good success. And, I'm excited to...
