Telegraph Harbour
We left Maple Bay, a day late but with new solar panels, lifelines and a wind generator. Not bad. We brought up the sails in Stuart Channel and tacked up toward Thetis and Kuper Islands. The winds increased steadily until we were in 25-30 knots as we anchored in Telegraph Harbour. We made for the […]
Happy Surprises in Maple Bay
From Genoa Bay we made our way to Maple Bay to pick up some parts and meet up with some friends. Things were going nicely after we tied up at the docks in the morning, when Steven shouted, "There's Loch Fyne!" Chuck and Corliss on Loch Fyne were our next door neighbours all winter at […]
Genoa Bay
After the Bluewater Cruising Association rendezvous at Bedwell Harbour, we went to Genoa Bay. We are heading to Maple Bay to get some work done on the boat and hopefully get back to Victoria over land in order to pick up some parts. Since we don't need to be at Maple Bay until tomorrow, we […]
Bedwell Harbour
We are currently at Bedwell Harbour for the Bluewater Cruising Rendezvous, using the free wifi from the Poet's Cove Marina. So far it has been a beautiful weekend, with sunny skies, warm days and good dinghy sailing winds. We both have sunburns from dinghy sailing and hanging out at the pool and hot tub at […]
Roche Harbor
Scream visited Roche Harbor on San Juan island as the last stop on our tour of Puget sound. The settlement of Roche harbor is a village on a penisula facing the largest of several bays in the vicinity. The harbour has a large marina and sufficient room for dozens of boats to anchor. The bottom […]
Rosario
On March 30, Scream visited Rosario Resort on Orca's Island in Washington state. It was wonderful. The resort is first class. It has been a few years since the crew of Scream has been to a five star resort, but Rosario is nicer than a few four star resorts that we have visited. The dockmaster […]
Visiting the parents
We visited Scream's previous owners at their home on Salt Spring Island this weekend. Bob and Gay are wonderful. They were having a dinner party, and invited us along when the heard that we were free. It is 36 nm to Ganges from Victoria, so we set out Saturday morning for the party Sunday afternoon. […]
San Juan Island
Scream spent this past week on a trip to San Juan Island. There was essentially no wind on the day we left Victoria for the 27 nm trip to Friday Harbour. So despite a good attempt at sailing, we motored most of the way. We were running late and decided that we wouldn't get to […]
Boat Show and Back Again
Scream traveled to Vancouver for the annual boat show. As the days are short and the distance considerable we wisely chose to split the trip into two days each way, stopping at Montague harbour both times. Those departing from Victoria's inner harbour, as we did, should consider making this a three day trip. We had […]
