It's March and time to get ready for a new boating season! In this episode we clean the interior of the boat, then head down to the Granville Island boat yard in Vancouver to haul out, paint the hull, change the anodes and hang out in the city.
This summer we set sail for Desolation Sound in British Columbia. We experienced some mishaps, learned some things, and loved every minute. With stops in Port Graves, Smuggler Cove and Pender Harbour, this is part one of our Desolation Sound Adventure.
In this project video we quickly show our new outboard engine crane and then feature the installation of our new 310 watt solar array installation project.

Shakedown Sail in March! Hoisting the jib and our two first sails of the season, with a little desert to finish! We hope you enjoy our videos and would really appreciate a thumbs up and subscribe! Thank you!
We close out the 2020 cruising season, get a little philosophical, enjoy the holidays with both kids at home, find 5 sunk/beached sail boats after a big wind, and begin preparing for a new season of sailing.

In our third episode, we see the completion of the dodger and bimini install. We then travel from North Vancouver to Squamish, take our kids for a sail, and then two four day cruises to the sunshine coast. A fabulous first summer with our new boat.
After years of dreaming, researching, looking, and endless hours of watching reviews on youtube, we found our dreamboat. Barlovento, a 2014 Hanse 415. As we first saw her just as the pandemic was beginning, we were fortunate to have found her when we did. Boats have become tough to find on the West ...
Our first Barlovento Sailing instalment is a little clumsy but we'll get there! In this video, we introduce our family, our community, and our first boat, an Ericson 29 named Saluki. The video ends with our first encounter with orcas while at anchor. A very exciting moment for all on board. Ou...
