Mamalilacula
Scream visited the remains of Mamalilacula, an abandoned first nations village infamous as the site of the Christmas Potlach Raid. There isn’t much to see in Mamalilacula. The whole place is overgrown with wild roses and blackberry bushes. I strongly recommend visitors wear long sleeves and pants and gardening gloves to protect against the thorns. [...]

Gorge Harbour Marina
Scream enjoyed a wonderful day at the Gorge Harbour Marina on Cortez Island. We arrived early enough on a sunny Sunday afternoon to catch brunch at the restaurant. We provisioned at their store, did laundry, took long showers on land, and even recycled our cans. In the evening we even had a fire at [...]

Quartz Bay
Scream spent one night at anchor in Quartz Bay on the north west side of Cortez Island. We anchored in the western cove along the shore behind the small island. The view of the cliffs on the nearby shore and the snow-capped mountains in the distance was quite nice. We anchored in 55′ on a [...]

Tenedos Bay
On the advice of Mac and Catherine on Indigo, who we met when they rafted to us in Comox, we spent a couple of glorious days at Tenedos Bay. We anchored in the northwestern cove, which was empty when we got there. It’s almost entirely landlocked, and while getting in and out was a little [...]

Practicing for the Tropics (or, Galley Bay)
After sailing off the anchor at Savary Island, we slowly made our way up toward Desolation Sound. The wind was light and we changed sail several times and even motored for a few minutes before the wind picked up from astern and we sailed to Malaspina Inlet. We passed the inlet and made our way [...]

Savary Island
The crew greatly enjoyed our previous visit to Savary Island, when we circumnavigated Vancouver Island in our previous boat, Wai Whare. Then, the island’s anchorage was full of visiting boats and the beach was covered with sun bathers and beach combers. This trip, however, we were a couple of months earlier in the season and [...]

Plumper Cove
Boat jobs are seemingly never-ending and always frustrating, and our tendency is to just get up each day and work at something. As a result, I get cranky sometimes, and demand institute a day or two off. Since our parts did not arrive at the Nanaimo Shipyard in time for the work to be finished [...]

Herring Bay
The crew of Scream took a well deserved day off in lovely Herring Bay. Just south of Ruxton Island, Herring Bay is only really a bay at low water, as the southern islands all but disappear with the tide. We spent the day sailing Gone Fission, sightseeing on the beaches (when they were there) and [...]

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 [...]
