This video chronicles a 6 day trip from Pender Island to Downtown Victoria Harbour. Along the way we stopped at some of the other gulf islands and had to repair a leaky coolant hose, which caused our engine to overheat. We hope you enjoy the footage from our trip.

About the boat:

SV Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30. The boat was acquired in the spring of this year (2020) and many hours of labour were given to get her live-aboard ready! Her engine is a Universal M25 Diesel.

About us:

We are currently (Fall, 2020) living aboard Blue Moon in beautiful Victoria, BC. We are grateful to be able to live, work and study from the boat. This is our first time living aboard and are loving it so far. The “boat life” has some unique challenges, but we are slowly learning how to optimize our use and enjoyment of the small space.

Thank you very much for watching and please feel free to engage with us in the comments,
