Summer Weather in May!

We managed to plan an 8 day cruise in May, sailing to Lasqueti/Jedediah Island and then the Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound and finally to Vancouver before crossing the strait back home to Nanaimo.

At anchor in Boho Bay waiting for ShangriLaII to join us.

On shore @ Boho Bay

We had a fairly benign motor-sail north to Boho Bay on Lasqueti Is (just off Jedediah Is.) and anchored in 35 ft. depth in our favourite spot.













The weather was absolutely fantastic! we were joined by our friends Roger & Karen (SV Shangri-LaII) who rafted up alongside and we enjoyed feeds of oysters, prawns and clams over the next two days.

Went on next to the Thormanby Islands for an enjoyable day on the beach, then said goodbye to our friends and headed to Smuggler Cove for a night before sailing south to Howe Sound with a night on Gambier Is. then a night in Snug Cove on Bowen Island.

We had a great, mostly downwind sail the next day into English Bay, where we checked in, then motored in to False Creek where we anchored for a night and the next day tied up at False Creek YC for a night.


We enjoyed walking around the waterfront and a trip to the Granville Island market.

Vancouver, English Bay

Diane was able to come down to the FCYC with our two sweet little grandkids and Jason joined us after work for a bbq on the boat.  Weather was hot! and it was a great visit.

Dee & Ev

My, but those kids are growing!!  Evan was busy investigating the boat and testing his fishing prowess.  Little Ady is sweeter than ever and soon will be walking!  It was a real treat to visit while enjoying the Vancouver waterfront.
