Thanks for the info Tom. Hope to post a couple pics when we get back.

Taking a couple buddies out blackmouth fishing for a few days. Anybody been out fishing in Wa. area 9 or 6 recently? Anything working well? Anyone fish the derby over the weekend? Thanks, Karl

We towed the Pudgy for the entire three weeks. We have been caught in Burke Channel going with an outgoing tide against a strong inflow. I would not describe it as comfortable in the Cdory. But I did feel safe. Something like 4-6 knots speed over ground. Cheers, Karl

That sounds like a fun trip. We have found that area to be very enjoyable. We've never been to Bella Coola but, have been as far as Eucott Bay for the hot springs. The coho fishing can be lights out in the area. We've heard of great halibut fishing as well. Will you be day tripping from Bella...

Hey Harvey, Thanks so much for getting the low down. The good news is we're going the weekend after the derby so sounds like Sequim bay will work out. Hopefully the derby contestants will leave a couple blackmouth behind and the wdfw won't close the fishery between now and then. Now all we need...

Thanks Chuck. We're going to try it all when we're up there.

Thanks for the replies. Harvey, Yes, the espar is working well. It was working overtime this past weekend at Jarrell Cove. This next trip is actually to be a man camp weekend of fishing. I'm bringing the boat and fishing gear and meeting up with a couple land yachts. Trying to find...

Hello to All, Hoping to find out if Fort Flagler State Park removes it's docks in winter or not. Thanks in advance, Karl

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like a pretty good reading list to get started on. If we were to take the ferry to Vancouver island it would be very difficult to not go directly to Port Hardy to launch. We'll have to read up and weigh our options. Karl

Thanks for the info guys. The dream speaker book looks like a good one to start with. Glad we've got six months to pick a route.

Thanks for the info Roger. Really hoping to check out the broken group and maybe Nootka sound. Have to wait and see how the weather treats us but, not sure we will have enough time to make it around the north end. We've found on our trips to the central and northern B.C. Coast that we prefer the...

Hello to all, We're looking into possibly cruising the west side of Vancouver island this summer for a couple of weeks. Any recommended cruising guides to this area besides the waggoner? (Already have it) Thinking of launching from Sequim then heading across the strait to clear customs. After...

The heated air of the espar d2 is very warm. Certainly warm enough to, at the very least, make wiring very pliable.

We have an espar d2 on our boat. I drilled holes large enough for the duct to go through without pinching. Ours terminates in the helm footlocker into the companionway via a 360 degree swiveling register. From there it can be adjusted to heat the cabin or the berth or a combination of the two. I...

The water in Ursula channel is upwards of 1500 feet deep. We had probably 300 feet of water below us when we had the encounter. We do use an uv filter on our camcorder so I'm sure it helped. The lack of wind for a couple days prior probably helped as well. Humpbacks are amazingly graceful and...

Hello to all, Thought I would share a video from our B.C. vacation this past Summer. Pretty awesome cruising area in central and northern B.C. This was taken in Ursula channel near Bishop Bay hot springs. We had been watching several humpbacks from a distance for a while before this...
