Unless you have a diesel truck.

We saw quite a few humpbacks this summer. The most prolific place was Blackfish Sound in the Broughtons. On the west coast of Vancouver Island we twice saw a cow and calf feeding in Tahsis Narrows near Nootka Sound. When departing from Nuchatlitz in Esperanza Inlet we had a humpback swim...

Like 350+ days a year.

At least is doesn't look like a sex toy, unlike his other toy.

My boat came with a Wallas and I have also installed a Wabatso and the combination is excellent for heating and some cooking. Especially if you attract bad weather like I do off Vancouver Island and other places. I also use a cheap $20 Korean butane stove and a Jet Boil. I like the Wallas in...

I caught a crab ONCE.

My two cents worth on the motor. In my opinion a motor that does not run, whether this is on a boat or any other vehicle can only be priced at it's scrap metal value. I would personally take it to a mechanic for an estimate and if he thinks that he can get it running for $500-1000 or whatever...

On my 22' I have a Honda 90, a Honda 9.9, two group 24 batteries, one on each side, add to that a two full tanks of gas and a 45 litre aux tank and then maybe more fuel and a cooler. I found that the boat was often rear heavy. My solution which killed two birds with one stone was to cut out...

If everyone would just get vaccinated, the border could be opened both ways with very few restrictions. So would restaurants, bars, gyms, sports arenas, concert halls, theatres......

My BBQ is a Magma round model and I have it mounted on a Scotty Mount. You might be able to do this with yours as well.

Five years ago I bought my boat in Whitehorse, Yukon and I live in central Alberta. I considered driving up to pick it up before winter, but I then decided to store it in Whitehorse and make a vacation of it and go up the next summer. We had an excellent maiden voyage on Atlin Lake and some...

My 22' is a high top and has a high radar arch with a radar on top which brings it to about 12 feet tall on the trailer. You may have to strip whatever is on the top for shipping, so that it fits on the trailer and then restore when you get it home.

I also tow my C22 with my truck and camper and have never had a problem. My truck a 2012 F350 4x4 quad cab and an 8 foot bed. The camper is an 8 foot model so it does not hang over the back of the truck. My previous truck an F250 had a 6.5 foot bed so the camper hung over the end. When I...

Good to hear, you can't believe everything you hear from other boaters at an anchorage. Hopefully we can visit his museum on our next cruise up here.

"No Regrets" was Docked at Alder Bay Campsite where we launched from and landed, both times we were there. A lot of people camp there for extended periods of time and go fishing daily. We went past Billy Proctor's Museum but did not land, we had heard that he has died, but I can't verify...

I use a pair of Steiner 8X30 Military Marine binoculars. They are light weight, very sharp and waterproof. I am very pleased with them.

Very Quiet in the Broughtons We have just returned from our first cruise in the Broughtons off the NE coast of Vancouver Island, BC. We has a very enjoyable time with a variety of weather and no or minimal smoke from the wildfires that are burning in the interior of BC. We launched from the...

First year we were married, I gave Judy a router. Ten years later I used it to build her a nice house with it.

I have two speeds that I cruise at most commonly and where me and the boat seems to be happy. That being about 6 knots and 12 knots. I have no reason to go faster as you miss the view.

Right now my '22 is the best boat for me. Living in landlocked Alberta with few suitable lakes for cruiser type boats, means that I have to travel long distances to boat. So pulling the boat to remote places like the Yukon (where I bought the boat) to Lake Powell and Vancouver Island is just...
