Thank you. We love the music. He’s so iconic with sailing/boating that we felt we needed to make that a part of the video.

My home waters, thanks for the memories. I’m currently on a circumnavigation, sailing in Thailand. We left in 2015. You’re so lucky to be in those magical waters. Enjoy Scott & Kat We have spent dozens of wonderful days at Wallace

Great video, I’ve sailed these same waters for almost 40 years and it never gets old. I liked your depiction of stern tying at Wallace Island, I have anchored with a stern tie in that exact spot before. Last time I was there I was single handing which makes stern tying even more challenging. Fortunately I picked a moment that was calm with almost zero cross breeze, otherwise I’m not sure I would have attempted it solo.

Been to Wallace Island many times and never made the trek to the cabin for some reason??? We always enjoy your adventure off the boat, and are def going to have to do that more this coming season.

Too bad we couldn't meet up with you guys on your way through Nanaimo, glad to see our sign is still up at Wallace 😊 Looking forward to your next video of DS

Thanks, so sorry it didn’t work out to meet up in Nanaimo. Our plans on the way back got derailed by weather and repairs. Hopefully next time we’re in town!

We approached Nanaimo from the north (arriving from Tribune Bay) one night and I noticed that there was a low slack at Dodd's at 10 pm. The kids were consulted :-) should we go for it? With everyone up the the adventure, we bypassed Nanaimo. There's a light at the north entrance, but you don't see it until the last minute, so we were motoring into complete darkness - no other boats in the area. Went through and anchored opposite Pirates Coves. Unforgettable.

I’m impressed with the quantity of the video work and editing. Nicely done! Next time going north consider going across to Malaspina Strait. Much more of a fun sail, more places to stop and it’s the same distance. Have a look at my video from last summer about transiting Dodd Narrows. Taking advantage of the current allows more flexible timing with no one around.

Great video, welcome to BC Sailing , you had great weather for Tribune Bay, and i like your boat, we live in Nanaimo and we love to explore Desolation Sound, here is a local tip for you. Rather than point straight to Hornby island and motor sail or beat into the wind (NW) set your course to a comfortable close reach, as you get some distance from Vancouver island , the wind will moderate and begin to clock to the West .You can choose malaspina straight if the wind is fairly strong , or sail comfortably o n a beam reach on the north side of Georgia straight. No need to beat up the crew or the boat and you will get there around the same time.

Sounds like a good option! Thanks so much!
