We left Melanie Cove in a bit of a rush.  On Wednesday morning we discovered a not so little issue with our holding tank. It was full. When I say full, I mean full!

Day one went pretty much as planned with the exception of motoring the entire way. We still had many items not anchored down so rather than fret about it we used out time to get some things … Continue reading Pellucidar departs for Vancouver Island →

During our stay at Reid Harbor we had nixed the cell phones as we were not sure if our plan covered Canada and being on … Continue reading Reid Harbor – Friday Harbor – Port Ludlow – Home →
