up, that's what I mean...this west coast is great for coastal cruising because we're already here!

Just wish I had the time to explore it more! Nowadays, I can only relive our cruise to Glacier Bay from last year...(getting ready was half the fun -below, installing bomb-proof latches on the locker doors prior to leaving, after having the locker doors fling open in swell earlier, spilling glass jars of canned salmon, which fortunately didn't break).
The ideal coastal cruise for this coast is, I think, to spend several months going up the Inside Passage, then heading back south via offshore (Queen Charlotte Islands, then Vancouver Island, then West Coast of Vancouver Island)...maybe next time? But probably next time we'll head south, where it's warm.

- Agree with Braden, we figure on a 5 knot average if we want to make tracks
- That's the honest approach!
- Hi Braden, that's good advice!
