2009 Southern Gulf Islands sola trip
Music: Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch (thank you). He provides most of the soundtrack for one of my favourite films -- Away We Go -- which I highly recommend if for nothing else than the musical score. It's a great song to edit to -- there's a very beautiful adaptation at if you like.
2009 sola kayaking trip around the Southern Gulf Islands (22 years old).
Route:
Day 1: ferry from Mayne Island to Swartz Bay, and paddling to unnamed islets northwest of Sidney Spit (where I was planning to camp, but pulled off the water upon seeing the storm approaching from the east. Awesome decision).
Day 2: south along Sidney Island to D'arcy, which has a long history of use as a leper colony by the Canadian government -- now a park.
Day 3: north along several smaller islets to Gooch-Rum Is., which has a history as a cache / smuggling point during Canada's Prohibition!
Day 4: along several smaller islets (this is the route I am tracing out for you on the chart) back to Swartz Bay, and back to Mayne.

Northern Gulf Islands, BC Ep.4
The Smoke finally clears and we spend a day exploring Lasqueti Island, a great destination for cruisers! The island lives totally off grid, with no building codes so you will find some very unique structures! Local farms provide stands that offer fresh fruit and veggies as well as homemade cookies. They work by the honor system, take what you need and leave money in the box for the items you took.
After a short visit, we head to Hornby Island and anchor in Tribune Bay! One of favorite beaches in BC! The swimming is wonderful and so many trails to explore as well as mountain bike! Wish we could have stayed longer!! Definitely will be back again!!
Hope you guys enjoyed! Next Episode we head into DESOLATION SOUND!! By far the most beautiful sailing we've seen so far in the PNW!

Tent Island, warmest waters in the Gulf Islands, BC, Canada
Tent Island is our boating destination. It has some of the warmest waters in the Gulf islands. Join the crew of Scrappy the yacht as they explore Tent Island, known for its natural beauty, many bays and warm waters for swimming. This is a popular boating destination. Despite the haze from the fires burning up north, and a lack of wind for sailing, the day was splendid.

Two great locations from my recent boating trip to Gulf Islands, BC
For last weekend me and my wife packed the boat full of camping gear, picked up a couple of friends, and we went camping at Cabbage Island. We had a good relaxing time with some good fishing in between ;) On the way back we stopped at our favorite restaurant in Bennet Bay on Mayne Island. Here is some casual flying from the trip.
