I am at Roche Harbour bouncing around at the customs dock. Any idea what the water is like between here and Friday Harbour?

That is exactly how I calculate it and my tanks hold 85 litres each. I'm not sure how much is usable.

I have new gas tanks (me were stolen), new steering, a place to park my van and trailer in Cowichan Bay, and I'm on my way to buy new spark plugs and other necessities. Then it looks like I will be ready to go. I hadn't used my boat in almost two years and mechanics are difficult to find at...

Some of us coming to Friday Harbour will be from Canada and others from the US will be going to Canada after the gathering. Does anyone know the proper flag protocol when cruising in another country? I think I am supposed to fly both the Canada flag and an American flag. I think my own...

Thanks Joe. I'm so glad it wasn't my imagination. Hopefully others will add it to their radio - 036697831

I think we had this conversation a few years ago, but I searched the forum and can't find it so maybe it was my imagination. Do we have a C-Brats Group MMSI#? If we do, how many C-Brats actually use it or have it programmed into their radio? It would be a great way to communicate with other...

I did that walk and it was really nice. The other places I haven't been to and will put them on my list. It would also be nice go exploring with another boat if anyone else will be around the area.

I would like to spend some time south of the Canadian border after the gathering. Is anyone else going to be cruising around the area or have good suggestions about where to go and what to see. I will have about 10 days after the gathering.

BC Ferries also has a Sunrise/Sunset promotion so if you plan carefully you can take advantage of both promotions at the same time. https://www.bcferries.com/promotions/sunrise-sunset-savings.html It is $49 Canadian for car and driver and then you can combine that with $3.25 for each extra...

My purpose in getting a boat was to explore the coast and I'm retired so I have lots of time to do that. Pack warm clothes because the Broughtons can be cold and wet, although I was lucky the year I went and it was really nice. A lot of people head north and completely bypass Lasquiti and...

Judy said I live on Vancouver Island and have been or want to go to most of the places on your list. I hope you will contact me while you are here. Gypsy

I am trying to decide my cruising schedule for this summer and am interested in the possibility of pairing up with another boat to do some exploring near or around Vancouver Island togethr. Places I may be interested in going to include: Nootka Sound Hot Springs Cove Tofino Coast north of...

Two Bears said Four boats went to Princess Louisa a couple of years ago after the Powell River Get Together. I can give you some tips about what learned. Let's talk at Friday Harbour. My plan is to spend some time exploring in the San Juans after Friday Harbour IF and it is a big IF my boat...

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. They always seem to take a long time to heal. When I had a guest on my boat and I wanted space and separation, I took the centre cushion out of the V-Berth so I was actually able to crouch and walk in and sit on the bed and then climb in. The bed was...

I have something similar to Jay and it is much easier to have extra people in the cockpit without extra chairs taking up space. The bench also works as a step to get in or out of the boat from the back or the swim grid. I had 8 people on my 22 cruiser. One laying on the V-Berth, two sitting...

I usually launch at Pacific Playground. https://pacificplaygrounds.ca/ There is no secure parking but you can park on the street for free and I think it is relatively safe. I would feel safer leaving my trailer there than I would in the free parking lot in Campbell River. You are right...

Does anyone know the part number of the tie bar that I need to install BayStar steering with my twin hondas?

My boat is in the shop waiting to get Hydraulic Steering installed, but I still don't know what to get. Most peole have BayStar but when I contacted SeaStar this is the response they gave me. Is there anything that I need to know that would make it possible to install BayStar? Has anyone...

That is what mine has. The tank was held in placee with brackets but I can see from the pictures of the new tanks that my old brackets won't work. The new tanks should arrive tomorrow.

My tanks are on the way. They are different than the ones I had. Do I need some type of special bracket to hold them in place? Does anyone have any other instalation advice?
