[@beachbum333]

What a great way to spend a few days. When the court cancelled the rest of us won! Stay safe. Stay happy. Thank you. Peace.

[@lifeislikesailing]

I was happy to get out sailing instead of being in a court room!

[@saffronsworld1508]

7:01 How cool that their library is a box hanging on a tree. 🤣

There are many reasons why I like your videos. The main reason is their quality. Thanks Alf ⛵

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you! :)

[@Sunshinecoastphotography]

Another great video. We love the tone of your videos and the beautiful visuals as well.

[@lifeislikesailing]

[@davidwarnes5158]

Great boat , I feel a bit of varnish is coming your way

[@lifeislikesailing]

Yes, there will be more varnishing in my future. :)

[@WaterTrails]

The joy of off-season visits to normally crowded anchorages! Taking advantage of the good weather fall myself. 😎

[@lifeislikesailing]

Much better cruising this time of year!

[@jamessandman3708]

Alfy, As always you create the most beautiful videos. I could not believe how quick this trip was over but superior quality over quantity is great! Thanks for taking us along. Hi Devlin! ;)

Always enjoy your elegant, tranquil videos. Diane from Albuquerque.

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad to hear you enjoy them! :)

[@millzee60]

Beautiful as ever.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you. :)

[@ianscott3180]

I love the scenery and your lovely yacht. She looks like a Colin Archer to me but I am sure that I am wrong? Enlighten me please?

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you enjoyed the scenery. She is a 1979 Hans Christian.

[@jackdotzman2908]

Great photography and editing. Got a great feel for where you were, what and why you chose to be there. Very enjoyable vid for a land lover. Had no idea boating, especially sailing boats, are as popular as seen in your vid. Thank you for taking the time to share your venture. From Missouri

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you for you kind comments and so glad you enjoyed following along for this little trip!

[@johnbolongo9978]

haven't seen him in a good while....really stepped up his game with this boat.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Glad you have stopped in again! :)

[@ingeebeltoft]

Hi man. Thats a beautiful ship you got 😎

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you!

[@vingreensill]

Such beautiful countryside. Well done on the camera.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you!

[@jeff_newriver6350]

Amazing!!

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thank you. :)

[@erikc.7348]

What a beautiful boat, so much character compared to those modern tupperware boats.

[@lifeislikesailing]

So many reasons we love our Hans Christian. :)

[@SirBikesAlot]

A friend sent me this video to check out and said I would recognize some folks, I was in the crew of cyclists around 8:50 mark in the video. I vaguely remembered seeing a man in the bushes with a camera that morning 😂

[@lifeislikesailing]

Always trying to capture interesting moments and cycling is my other passion and it was great to see so many riders pass by!

[@SirBikesAlot]

@@lifeislikesailing Neat. We'll I run a bikepack collective and we have a group of people who bike and camp together. This was one of our trips. Anyone is welcome, so let me know if you want to join. linktr.ee/VanIslandBikepackCollective

[@justlooking2222]

Nice relaxing time. At 10:28 does that block have a crack in the stainless ?

[@lifeislikesailing]

I'll have to take a closer look.

[@4437RR]

I want you to know that I do all my West Coast cruising vicariously on ND V. I'm so glad that this new season has begun. Could hardly wait to get back on the water🙂. What is the bottom like at these two harbours for anchoring? I expect you use a mooring buoy for convenience when single handed. Wish I was there to crew when needed. Winston

[@lifeislikesailing]

So glad you can see this amazing part of the world through our content. Anchoring is fine and a lot of boats do it, when I am single handed it is sometimes easier to just grab a mooring, and the money helps BC Parks. :)

[@lotophagi711]

I always wonder if I could climb the steps on your stern?

[@lifeislikesailing]

They are brackets for an old wind vane we took off.

[@Jimfoxyboy]

I've biked Galiano Island at least once, ages ago. Went from the ferry terminal to the other end. I think it took me about 2 hours one way because of some of the hills over there.

[@lifeislikesailing]

BIG HILLS there for sure!

[@geoff3013]

Nice boat!! Do you single hand typically? Would love to hear your commentary on what you are comfortable doing and not doing single hand on an exceptionally heavy full keel boat, and what techniques you use for some of the harder stuff!

[@lifeislikesailing]

I single hand it often and I have commented on some of that in previous videos, but could try to add it in again for future videos. :)

[@suepeck2772]

We also haven't been there for years... didn't know they had public dock space.. is that new?

[@lifeislikesailing]

A great place to stop! The dock is private and my friends who are residents on the island arranged the moorage for me. Not sure if it is open to the general public?

[@dennismacdonald2003]

Ty Alfie

[@lifeislikesailing]

You are welcome. :)

[@donnakawana]

I would love to know more regarding Northern Dancer V. . She's just the most beautiful vessel!! I subscribed cuz I am interested in how you found your vessel, how an where you sail her. An what places do you see Northern Dancer V n you going in the future. I'd like to get to know you as well! !! Thanks for sharing your life with us ✌🏻💗😊❣️ Donna Kawana from Chesapeake Bay Maryland

[@lifeislikesailing]

Thanks for subscribing and I have previous videos that tell the history of Northern Dancer V :) Future plans are uncertain, but we have a few ideas of what we will do with Northern Dancer V. Those details will come later as we figure them out. :)

[@guenther1]

Your videos are always so pleasant to watch during those times when not out ourselves. They capture that relaxed, wouldn't want to be any where else, feeling for sure. Good to know about the store being closed although you aren't missing too much. The restaurant is prety good. Take the "crazy" school bus ride if you can. What do you do in Yellowknife? Cheers...

[@lifeislikesailing]

Such a nice comment and thank you for that. :) yes that school bus is pretty fun!

[@NikkiN777]

Haven’t heard you mention Devlin for a while. Is she going to be joining you?

[@lifeislikesailing]

We are both busy with so much work lately, but she will be out cruising on our Northern Dancer V when she can. :)

[@svgitana2499]

These HC’s boats are so beautiful!! 🙌🏻

[@lifeislikesailing]

We agree with you! :)

[@hoozleup]

New boat? What the….. I’m going to have to go back through some older videos to catch up.

[@lifeislikesailing]

Oh yes, we purchased Northern Dancer V in March, 2020! :)

[@hoozleup]

@@lifeislikesailing Nice one 👍. Your videos dropped out of my feed for some reason - I’ll have to go back and catch up. I loved Moonshine - beautiful lines. Cheers from New Zealand.

[@lifeislikesailing]

@@hoozleup Well I am glad that you can catch up on the latest content and we hope you enjoy it! Fair winds from Canada's west coast! :)

[@SpyridonMouroutsos]

🙂

[@84Rabbitz]

Could you explain the process of finding and booking moorage when you are cruising? Do you radio ahead or just google and call by phone?

[@lifeislikesailing]

Internet, phone call or radio is how I do it. :)

[@leonjohansson6542]

You need a folding e-bike to scoot around at port stops.

[@lifeislikesailing]

I had one years ago and it was stolen. :(
