Summer Cruising: Tod Inlet

For the past several years, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to enjoy cruising the Gulf Islands in the “late” season, as summer turns to autumn.  I generally tack on a little time after the annual Canadian Tollycruisers Rendezvous, and if time and weather allow I head toward one of my favorites this time of year: Tod Inlet.  I qualify that with this time of year, as even though it’s beautiful throughout the year, during the peak summer season – especially on weekends – Tod Inlet, like other popular destinations can be quite crowded.

The final video from my Summer Cruising Series is from my recent visit to Tod Inlet, with a side trip that I enjoy while I’m there.  I hope you’ve enjoyed my videos from this summer!

This video was shot with my DJI Osmo camera and DJI Phantom 3 Standard quadcopter.

Summer Cruising: Wallace Island

For the fourth video in my Summer Cruising Series, I visit Wallace Island in the Canadian Gulf Islands.  This is another very popular destination in the Gulf Islands that offers much to see and do.  I blame the nice weather, but I was surprised at the number of boats that were there during my visit, as compared to September visits in the past.

I hope you enjoy this video, which offers a quick look at Wallace Island.  I’ve enjoyed creating these videos, and learn a bit more in the process with each one.

Summer Cruising: Canadian Tollycraft Rendezvous

As I continue my summer cruising series, my third video is from the annual Canadian Tollycruisers Rendezvous, held at Telegraph Harbour on Thetis Island, BC.

I’ve had the pleasure of attending this rendezvous for the past several years, and my summer just wouldn’t be complete without it.  The long weekend is full of fun events, and through the years has brought Tollycraft enthusiasts together with vessels ranging from seventeen to sixty-five feet.

I hope you enjoy this short video I put together as just glimpse into a great time with great people in a very special location.  Rendezvous are fun – if there’s one for your brand or design of boat, I encourage you to check it out!

2016 Tollycraft Rendezvous

I just returned from the annual Tollycraft Boating Club Rendezvous at Roche Harbor, a long weekend packed with a lot of fun and fun people.

This was my twelfth rendezvous, and while each event is a little different, they’re all about getting together with boating friends, making new ones, and enjoying some time on the water.

Rather than try to describe it all, I’ll let a short video I put together tell the story!
