[@jamessandman3708]

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!! That was just glorious! Northern Dancer was the pride of the water! She looked right at home at eight knots under full sail. Thanks for sharing! ⛵⛵⛵

[@lifeislikesailing]

We do love finding new places to enjoy ice cream! ha. So glad you enjoyed seeing Northern Dancer V under full sail, it sure was a fun upwind run. :)

[@Prel8]

Great video! It's nice to see that NDV has got some moves. Impressive performance. Thanks Sarge.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed seeing NDV under sail. :)

[@robinpatterson8754]

You gotta love icecream i have a small cup of a chocolate swirl & vanilla, and put like a half of a shot glass of Grand Marnier on it. Always a wonderful video. I will eventually make it bake home to see my Sister, who has now moved to the Naniamo area. I will definetly try to see you both

[@lifeislikesailing]

A great way to enjoy your ice cream. :) So glad you enjoyed following along on our trip and Nanaimo is not too far. :)

[@4437RR]

Yahoo! Hawaii! Can't wait!

[@lifeislikesailing]

Hopefully one of these days! :)

[@Al.W7263]

At that speed you may need some foyles. Thank for the video.

[@lifeislikesailing]

That would increase the speed some! ha

[@davidwarnes5158]

T to see you actually sailing , she looks good , needs some sea motion to test her ,

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you and we are looking forward to getting out in some heavier sea conditions with her. :)

[@dmack1827]

Just marry that beautiful woman, Alfy. :)

[@lifeislikesailing]

She is the most amazing person in my life for sure! :)

[@johndavidson6867]

Another very relaxing video, Alfie. You and Devlin sure to work good together. Hope your summer was good and may the fall and winter treat you kindly.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you and Devlin and I just love these little cruising adventures we go on, among all of the other adventures we do. We will keep documenting to bring you all along. Summer was great and we hope yours was too. :)

[@titusmoz]

I was fortunate enough to see Northern Dancer under full sail coming down into Nanaimo, and wow does she looks glorious and so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your little adventure. take care, Cheers, T!

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad to hear you saw us coming in, that was such a great sail that day! So glad you enjoyed doing along for this little adventure. :)

[@DobDog151]

That sailing footage was awesome. NDV just looks great under sail. Any thoughts about doing long passages? Offshore sailing?

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you and we truly were impressed with the sail this day and it was the first real test since we have put on the new sails, rigging, roller furlers, and bowsprit. We definitely have some ideas for extended cruising and possibly offshore, which is one reason we are making some of the upgrades to NDV. Maybe a little test run to Hawaii and back for starters will happen before we go further. :)

[@ronnienordberg8187]

Nu skarvar du nog lite i alla fall! Finns inte möjlighet att du kan segla i över 8 knop på kryssen! 😮 Är det en Racer! Skärp dig!

Absolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing, Canada is one place I don't think I will get to so loved seeing a bit of it from your perspective. Cheers!

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you enjoyed this one and it sure is an amazing place to cruise! :)

[@philgray1023]

Great sailing video in beautiful surrounds. You are lucky people. Your sense of calm is very relaxing.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed seeing this part of our trip. The sea definitely calms us and is a great escape from the rat race of life and work. :)

[@dangyou7695]

Beautiful lady, beautiful boat, beautiful place, thank you for sharing

[@lifeislikesailing]

A great combination for amazing memories for sure. So glad you enjoyed following along. :)

[@1240enzo]

Thanks Alfy and Devlin, a lovely trip through the Sound. It’s such a scenic area as shown by your lovely camera work. The boat’s brightwork is really coming along nicely through all your work. There sure is always plenty to do re maintenance on a boat. Don’t I know it, but it’s enjoyable when jobs are completed..

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you enjoyed following us along for this little trip. The brightwork continues and it sure is satisfying to see the transformation from old grey and peeled varnish to shiny and new. :)

[@NatureSoundsandSights]

Looking forward to the "Ice Creams of Coastal British Columbia" book :) Awesome videos, was really great to see some of the nooks and crannys

[@lifeislikesailing]

Always fun to know where the ice cream stops are!

[@SeattleLifeguard]

Nice!! We bought our boat from inside Pender Harbor in a little place called Gunboat Bay.

[@lifeislikesailing]

A great little harbour and so many boat there. :)

[@rogerl.9573]

Great video, so enjoy the peaceful pace and beauty. This is good with a cup of coffee.

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you could enjoy watching our little adventure while enjoying your coffee. :)

[@sailoutofagarage6212]

Very nice! How long is the boat, did you reach hull speed?

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you enjoyed it and I am sure we were close. :)

[@w.mozart3048]

A real nice series and I especially love the mutual declaration of love at the end. Keep all that up..

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it. It has been an amazing 7+ years with Devlin in my life and it just keeps getting better and better. :)

[@chris-yale]

Delightful, as always 👌👌👌

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@brucegarrison4999]

Thank you for a great video

[@lifeislikesailing]

You are welcome and so glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@mistacolin]

Great series on Desolation. I went for my first time this summer as well, too bad we didn’t cross paths. Love the new boat, she’s a real beaut. What are you using on the teak decks? They look great. I’m going to refinish mine in the next year or two and would like to seal them with something to keep them looking sharp.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Nice that you got up there as well, I hadn't been to the area for a number of years and Devlin really enjoyed her first visit to the area. I used a product for teak deck cleaning made by Semco. If you search that you will find it easily I am sure. If you see us out there say hello. :).

[@mistacolin]

@@lifeislikesailing Thanks! I’ve heard good things about the semco. Which color did you go with? I stayed in Ladysmith on my way back down for a couple nights to wait out some weather this year, cute town. Next year I’ll probably get back up to Desolation and hopefully will run into ya.
