Today marked a milestone in our boating adventures as we undertook a grueling yet exhilarating 9-hour journey from Fairwinds Marina to Rebecca Spit, with a scenic detour through Tribune Bay. Initially, Tribune Bay was intended to be our stopover, but the water conditions were so exceptionally calm that we opted to push further up the
On our voyage towards desolation sound today we traveled 37 miles from Ladysmith to Fairwinds marina north of Nanaimo. It may haven been close to 30 miles, but we did some back and forth fishing for about 90 minutes. In that time I caught 3 undersized salmon that I immediately released. They were so small

This last week I had the opportunity to replace or failed shower drain. I learned more about the plumbing on the 4788 that I guess I ever wanted to know. Of course the obvious that we all know is that we have a black water tank to hold the sewage, and all of the gray
We made it home after 19 days on the boat, 120 miles travelled, and now 139 nights total that we have spent on this boat. To date this was the 2nd longest in days trip we have done with our Desolation Sound trip last year being the only longer boat trip. Date Distance 2024-05-22 10.80
Journey from Prevost Harbor to Friday Harbor After three serene days docked at Prevost Harbor on Stuart Island, we decided it was time to set sail once again.
