Yes, it was Sam's Boat. He purchased it in May 2008. We met the whole crew at Princes Louisa Inlet. As I recollect there were 5 aboard, plus the dog. I believe that Sam was 18 then. After that cruise, Sam was going to go around Vancouver Island.
A great start for a professional Mariner! It is been such a pleasure to watch his career develop from Web sites, and both internet and magazine articles.
