Heres one for the solo sailing fans!
After a few weeks away from the boat, I return to Juneau and start solo sailing south. Mellow but steady winds keep me cruising along happily as I make stops in Taku Harbor and Tracy Arm Cove. In Tracy Arm, I check ou...
In this one I continue my solo journey south from Juneau to Petersburg, leaving behind the beautiful ice in Tracy Arm to go find a good anchorage to wait out a forecast gale. Before I leave Tracy Arm, I go check out some beached ice bergs and collect ice t...
In this one, I complete my solo journey from Juneau to Petersburg, Alaska.
I leave behind Windham Bay were I waited out a gale that never ended up coming. As I enter the strait, I am greeted by good sailing on choppy seas. For a change, the wind angle ar...
After a life altering week of solo sailing, my friend's Rachael and Ben join me for the next leg from Petersburg to Ketchikan, Alaska. The week starts out very wet, but we don't let the drizzle dampen our moods as we enjoy some sailing down the dredged cha...
The fun continues with Rachael and Ben as we head further south down Clarence Strait!
This episode starts on a foggy morning in Exchange Cove. The fog slowly dissipates as we set off into Kashevarof Passage. Very gentle winds keep us creeping south, befo...
The sunshine continues as we awake to perfectly calm morning in Snug Anchorage on Prince of Wales Island near Ketchikan, Alaska. We head to shore for a stroll, Ben and Rachel play with some bull kelp, we check out the beautiful forest, clean up some garbag...
Back to solo sailing! In most of this one, I meander around the vicinity of Ketchikan, Alaska, for several days as I await the arrival of a new crew mate, my good friend Alex Cebulski.
While singlehanded sailing around the area, I check out a very poorly...
Ahoy! In this one, we leave Alaska and cross back into Canada. The rightfully feared Dixon Entrance that is exposed to the full brunt of the North Pacific Ocean is gentle on us as we rage across the border and on to Prince Rupert, Canada. While the wind wa...
This is a fun one! We set sail from Prince Rupert towards the less travelled "Inside-Outside" Passage. Calm conditions have us anchor at an obscure anchorage just south of town. We head out fishing in the dinghy and Alex hooks onto a huge halibut, which we...
Welcome back to Sailing Sea Dream of Clyde! In this one, we continue south down the "Inside/Outside" Passage along the edge of the feared and wisely respected Hecate Strait. While this area is not particularly far from the main route of the Inside Passage,...
Welcome back to Sailing Sea Dream of Clyde!

This episode picks up where we left off at the spectacular Goose Island on the outside edge of the Inside Passage. As Alex and I leave Goose Island, we are engulfed by a thick fog bank that sticks around for hours, leaving us with no visual references to s...
Cape Caution is rightfully known by many as the most difficult and dangerous section of the whole Inside Passage. The combination ocean swell, overlapping currents, and numerous reefs and abrupt shoaling near the cape, and often strong winds can make this ...
All to often sailors are quick to flash up with engine as soon as the wind slows down, but not the folks on Sea Dream of Clyde! Having a schedule while sailing leads to mindlessly cruising past wildlife and wonderful anchorages all while listening to the d...
Its the home stretch! In this one, we leave Port Neville and finish sailing down Johnstone Strait and into Discovery Passage. With great wind and a favourable tide pushing us along, we manage to sail straight through Seymour Narrows and over the infamous R...
This is it! The final installment of my series on Sailing The Inside Passage to Alaska!
In this one, having just dropped Alex off, I head off solo from Hornby Island to finish up the trip. Warm weather and awesome (though close-hauled) sailing greet me as...
Ahoy sailors! Here is a short one with ZERO sailing in it! Regular viewer will know that is a real rarity on Sailing Sea Dream of Clyde, so soak in the "how to" goodness while you can!
In this one, I head up the mast to try and fix a few things. I use a ...
Winter is over it's time to get out sailing! In this one, I leave the dock for the first time in months to solo sail across Juan de Fuca Strait and into the San Juan Islands. Great sailing begins right out of the harbour, but the winds quickly increased to...
Ahoy sailors and sailing enthusiasts! It has been a little while since my last video, and may be a little while before the next, but here is a quick one from late this spring when my friends Taryn and Logan from @WaywardLifeSailing joined me aboard Sea Dre...
A quick clip from my most recent video of sailing from Victoria, British Columbia to Bellingham, Washington!
Check out the full version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD4NydnkKvg
In this video, I go through the process of taking apart, cleaning, and replacing the gaskets (Part #45488-0000) in a Jabsco Y-Valve (Part #45490-1000). This Y-Valve is part of the Lavac marine toilet set-up on my 1979 Westerly Discus. A small amount of liq...
Pardon the low quality footage in the first few minutes; had the camera video settings on wrong!
This is a fun one! To celebrate Kat's 31st birthday, we set sail from Victoria to Port Angeles to head up Hurricane Ridge by bicycle. After a pleasant sail a...
This time on Sailing Sea Dream of Clyde, Kat and I set sail from Bellingham to the San Juan Islands for a couple days of sailing together. Some wildly gusty conditions make for a great learning opportunity for Kat as she continue to learn how to sail. Kat ...
In this quick one, Kat and I make a visit to the Sailboat Wrecking Yard located in Lynden, WA near Bellingham, and just south of Vancouver, BC.
This place is incredible! Countless items are well organized into several trailers and throughout the yard. An...
In this one, Trevor leaves Victoria behind and heads for Bellingham to start preparing Sea Dream of Clyde for offshore sailing! He stops on Lopez Island to meet up with Kat. On a beautiful sunny day, Kat and Trevor sail back to Bellingham, encountering cal...
With Trevor wrapping up his snow survey job, he gets to work preparing Sea Dream of Clyde for offshore sailing. A few small cracks along the bottom of the hard dodger that had gone unnoticed allowed water to penetrate into wood core, resulting into some ro...
This one is to fun not to share right away, so here is a quick sneak peak of our sailing trip towards Mexico!
While kayaking in Elkhorn Slough in Monterey Bay, California, an uncomfortably friendly sea otter that I was trying to avoid decided to swim ove...
Here is part 2 of the dodger repairs, plus some DYI sail repair, varnishing, and solar panel bracket making. After the work is wrapped up, we start sailing towards Nanaimo where we will be doing our haul-out for Sea Dream of Clyde.
Thanks so much for wat...

It is not always sunshine and rainbows in the Gulf Islands, though most the time it is! In this one, we leave the San Juans behind and head up to Nanaimo, but not before running into a frustrating customs agent, a log, and diesel spill! We stop by Prevost ...
