Cruising Desolation Sound: Episode 2

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.

Cruising Desolation Sound: Episode 1

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.

2017 Tollycraft Rendezvous

For the past several years – thirteen to be exact – late June has found me cruising to the annual Tollycraft Boating Club Rendezvous at Roche Harbor in the San Juan Islands.  Each year is an opportunity to catch up with old friends, while making new, and checking out a bunch of beautiful boats.  This year’s theme: “Destination Disney”!

I’ll let my friends with the club tell the story in my latest video, with a “Goofy” cast of characters – some goofier than others…

Garrison Bay: A San Juan Island Favorite

Summer is well under way, and warm sunny weather has been the reward for enduring a long, cold, and damp winter and spring.  The first day of summer found me anchored in another one of my favorite spots in the San Juan Islands: Garrison Bay.

Aside from excellent anchorage, Garrison Bay offers a lot for a visiting boater, in a setting that holds a lot of history.  In my latest video, I visit this San Juan favorite!

I’m Going Somewhere! March Cruising in the San Juans

It has been a pretty lousy winter for boaters in the Pacific Northwest this time around – at least it has been for this boater.  The weather man says you can count the “nice” days we’ve had since October on one hand, and pretty much all of them I’ve been tied up with work or other obligations.

When my schedule coincided with a favorable weather forecast, I just had to seize the opportunity to get away from the dock for a few days and enjoy the offseason’s lack of crowds and a little sunshine for a change.
