11 years ago, we sailed the Inside Passage aboard a very bare boned Catalina 27 from Port Hardy, all the way up to Juneau and back. I have posted a video of this trip in the past, but decided to re-edit it to improve the audio and flow of the videos with t...
Here is a quick video that is a bit niche, but might be helpful for some fellow sailors that also have a OM636 diesel. I could not find an oil change video for this engine, and there are a few unusual quarks involved when changing the oil on it, including ...
In this video, I pick up from where I left off in episode 6 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnltynLQyMs&t=7s), and I row my sweet dinghy boat from Silva Bay to the beautiful Saturnina Island, which was recently purchased to be turned into a Nature Res...
This was recorded aboard my first boat, a Catalina 27, in November 2011 in Johnstone Strait, BC, Canada. We were sailing along, minding our own business, when out of nowhere a pod of many hundreds, if not over a thousand Pacific White Sided Dolphins rampag...
I was joined by Alex C, Sarah, Alex L, and Reid for a nice weekend cruising through the Gulf Islands. The first day of the weekend started with a late evening departure from Cowichan Bay with everyone aboard, and finished in Canoe Cove where we went to go ...

In this video, I discuss Sea Dream Of Clyde's trip to the boat yard, and share a few tips that worked really well for me. Once back in the water, I sail south back to Cowichan Bay from Nanaimo under some surprisingly pleasant winds and seas. The transit go...
With Sea Dream of Clyde positioned in Nanaimo ahead of a visit to the shipyard, I took the opportunity to head to Dogfish Bay, which is one of my favorite anchorage in Gulf Islands. Decent sailing out of the gate was made even better when a pod of transien...
Sea Dream of Clyde's shipyard date in Nanaimo was coming up, so I took advantage of a forecasted southerly blow and well timed northerly flowing flood current to sail 35 miles north from Cowichan Bay to Nanaimo Harbour where I was hauling out.
This trans...
We managed to get out for a bit of a long weekend finally! Good sailing from Cowichan Bay to near Sidney Spit, then some strolls around the island. After a lovely day chilling on and around Sidney Island, we enjoyed an evening sail up to Russell Island, be...
This one is a silly oldy! If you're new to the channel, be sure to check out my more recent, and much better quality videos!
The forecast looked good enough, so we loaded up Alex's C&C 34 and headed across the strait after work to make the most of th...
