First Time Ever! 150-Mile Dinghy Trip Up the Fraser River B.C.!

Follow me On Instagram! / i_dream_of_dinghy
Darryl and Tory have bundled up and are off on another “backyard” adventure!
This time, the guys are heading 150 miles upstream into one of Canada’s largest watersheds - the Fraser River, in the middle of a west-coast winter!
Follow along as they navigate Dinghy Little from Sidney BC across the Strait of Georgia, through the Fraser River delta and up into Harrison Hot Springs in this first leg of their adventure.
Check out spectacular sunrises, amazing scenery, derelict old ferry boats and inspiring glimpses of the rocky mountains, as they make this trip, one to remember!

Awesome video! You are Tory are a great team and what a sick adventure this river explore is, what more could you want! Loved the drone shots of the abandoned ship towards the end. Nailed it!!! 🙌🏻

[@yamahagriz8820]

Awesome video!

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)

[@andreaszobolas9900]

Such a cool adventure to do! Awesome video!

[@idreamofdinghy]

Do you wish you came on the trip? hehe!

[@sandra11715]

Love your two’s pure, funny, and just plain good ol’ Canadian enthusiasm, eh! Unique adventure. Looking forward to the next one.

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thanks Sandra!!! We do have a ton of fun! #CrazyCanadianBoys lol Thanks for watching!

[@Building_Bluebird]

That's a really cool little adventure. I love hot springs. One thing I miss a lot from when I lived in the PNW. Sure beats the extreme danger of the last one!

[@brucehenkelman9852]

The beautiful Fraser valley ❤ I'm an American who's travelled across much of your fair country eh! All the way to the Yukon 😊. Across the James Bay frontier from Timmons to the Soo!! My late father and I were in, Ottawa once for a holiday weekend and were invited by some locals to check out of our Hotel and spend the weekend as guests in their home to which we readily agreed 😊. The Canadian people are bomb ass dope!❤ The Fraser valley is unmatched for its beauty. The Cascades are gorgeous 😮. BC is bitchin! How about that, Gordy Howe bridge! 😊 Fair winds and following seas shipmates! ❤😊

[@idreamofdinghy]

Hello @brucehenkelman9852 Thanks for watching. Yes they can be bomb ass dope lol Its awesome to hear things like that happening. Just reminds us of how amazing people can be :) It is amazing in the mountains, you're right! I can't wait to take the boat back up into the Fraser river once I am done building it! Hope you're enjoying the boat build! We have some amazing adventures coming in the future :) Darryl

[@gordaro2828]

Great trip so far. I've paddled from Harrison beach to Port Mann bridge...it IS a mighty river. Cheers!

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thanks for watching! Wowza! Thats a long paddle. Did you do it in a day? Or camp along the way? Also what were you paddling. Canoe or Kayak? It is mighty. I can’t wait to go back up. It was one of my favourite trips I have done and it’s so close to home. Darryl

[@gordaro2828]

@@idreamofdinghy took my time and did it over three days with some hiking along the way. 12' SportsPal sp pointy canoe (red w/ white stripe)...great stable platform for everything (I despise uni-taskers) Also, couldn't help notice your floater jacket...I just retired from the CCG a few months ago at Shoal Point. Keep posting great stuff, eh!

[@vancity2349]

Awesome video! The straight wasn't to angry coming across, Sandheads, Steveston, even McBarge lol...looking forward to more...

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thanks! The crossing wasn't too bad after we got away from Active Pass. lol Thanks for watching! Next week is sweet too!

[@BoatingJourney]

What an epic ride! The Fraser River is responsible for so much weather in the PNW, so it was great seeing what you encountered along the way.

[@idreamofdinghy]

Couldn't agree more! Thanks for watching dude! 🤘

[@jonathanscott550]

Yes Darryl & Tory another awesome epic video. Absolutely breath taking scenery "WoW! This will be interesting as I have never thought about The Fraser River as a travelling river as you don't really hear much about it here in Ontario anyways. I was thinking about you should do a Great Lakes Dinghy trip and canals and Locks. Looking forward to your next adventure hopefully further up the River as I would love to see more and how far up you can go. Catch you next video

[@idreamofdinghy]

Hey Jonathan! Thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it! We defiantly had fun making it lol Yes the lower part is more for travel. I actually couldn't find much at all online about transiting the Fraser River. I ended up calling the local marinas to find out info. So I don't believe too many people use it for transport anymore. Mostly fishing! We are going to try again and get higher. We we went on this trip it was really really low water so that was a definite challenge. We were thinking of a jet leg or something on the boat because my propeller got smaller and smaller along the trip. lol Yes Sir the Great Lake trip will come! I promise.

[@jonathanscott550]

@idreamofdinghy once you get to the Toronto portion of the Great Lakes trip, I would love to do the portion up north to Sault Ste Marie Ontario with you if possible. That would be welland Canal to Lake Huron Georgian Bay to Lake Superior. I think the route is. A man can dream lol

[@stephenmacleod8524]

Great video! Watched from NZ

[@idreamofdinghy]

Awesome! Thanks for still watching Stephen haha! Hope you're crushing it out there! Sounds like your having fun on the Patreon Chat anyways lol

[@6MISFITZ]

Another Epic sail delivery?

[@idreamofdinghy]

I wish! Just not on this trip! I will do another delivery in the future I hope :)

[@ericbush6845]

Nice ride. I'm surprised that you didn't mention that the old ferry was in fact the Queen of Sidney.

[@idreamofdinghy]

I know... I defiantly should have. It was such a stunning site to see. I was shocked when we were checking it out. It almost didn't feel real.

[@cals4200]

Good to see you back in action Daryl.

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thanks! Im always in action! haha. But yes it was so nice to get out on a rad trip! One of the best we have had in a while!

[@mikeguns8465]

Awesome adventure!

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thanks Mike! It was an awesome trip. The weather turned out amazing in the end as well.

[@graham2631]

Nice! My home port is Victoria. I've been up the Fraser in my boat but only to Mission. I draw a bit more water.... l have almost 6 feet of draft as its a 40f fishboat.

[@idreamofdinghy]

Thats awesome! Victoria!! Ok at 6 feet draft you wouldn't make it much past mission. Thats why you need a Dinghy lol But seriously it was very shallow when we went. I wasn't expecting it as shallow as it was. My prop got smaller and smaller during the trip lol

[@saildive6]

Interesting! Before I watch your video, I would like to know what happened to Atlas the macaw that was on that Formosa?

[@idreamofdinghy]

Not sure! But I hope that doesn’t stop you from watching :) hehe!!

[@internalcombustion641]

Lucky Lager aka vitamin L, like an angel pissing on your tongue.

[@idreamofdinghy]

HAHA Well said....lol

[@spacepodstudio]

Mcdonalds Mcbarge at 06:00

[@idreamofdinghy]

Yes Sir. I was wondering if anyone would notice or comment on that barge.... The old BC Ferries boat was really sweet to see too!

[@frankmorrow5537]

You dont go anywhere near hells gate to get to Harrison . Just sayin

[@idreamofdinghy]

Yes correct. I made some mistakes. We tried to go past Harrison but it was to shallow. Especially with the low water we had.

[@garycolemanml]

A great run in a rib, on my ToDo list, except I might drink a slightly better beer :)-- I recall an ocean going water jet doing the run from Steveston to Kamloops. I did not find in on YouTUBE, but I did find this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXiWn3eKo8yegbs -- Gary Coleman 49n12/122w58

[@idreamofdinghy]

Hey Gary! Id say drink better beer for sure lol> Tory and I might be hooked on river boats to do trips exactly like you mentioned. I checked out that video and it looks RAD with the river boat. Im going to look and see the Steveston to Kamloops. That would be a great trip!

[@XD-te6vj]

Open alcohol in a boat…smart

[@mrleeal]

yes mum
