Formerly MV Jolly Mon – The assorted ramblings of an owner of an old boat…
The fourth episode brings the exciting conclusion to my Cruising Desolation Sound series. In this episode, our little flotilla visits Tribune Bay at Hornby Island before turning toward home.
I really enjoyed shooting and creating this video series showing highlights from an absolutely wonderful trip. The videos show only a glimpse into the good times with good friends. I hope you enjoyed following along.
In the second episode in my Cruising Desolation Sound series, our little flotilla moves on to Grace Harbor and Squirrel Cove, before heading for one of my favorite anchorages – Pendrell Sound.
I hope you enjoy this video, and stay tuned for Episode 3!

I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip cruising to Desolation Sound. We were blessed with great weather – although a little smoky at the beginning, due to the wildfires in the BC Interior.
My cameras captured parts of the journey, and I’m excited to present the first episode of the multi-part series. “Stay tuned” for next video in the series to follow along with the fun!
I hope you enjoy this video and the others that will follow in the series, as I continue to learn more about shooting, editing, and storytelling through video.
It’s October, and we’ve officially entered what is unofficially the “off season”. Given a few days of beautiful weather with nothing on the calendar, I decided to get away – even if only for an overnighter.
I keep Jolly Mon pretty well-stocked and ready to go throughout the year, so preparation for a quick trip is minimal if the opportunity arises. I grabbed a change of clothes, a few groceries and was under way with little delay. I didn’t have a destination set, but had a few in mind close to home.
I settled on James Island, someplace I hadn’t been for several years, but I’m very familiar with, having spent many family boating weekends there as a kid.
Check out the video below for my autumn visit to James Island.
I hope you enjoy my videos. I continue to learn more with each and every one, and hope to create a winter cruising series! Subscribe to my YouTube Channel to keep up to date.
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.
