Gulf Islands, BC 2017 - 170nm

In June 2017 we charted a 40ft Leopard Catamaran from Island Cruising out of Sidney BC. This is the start of us getting a feel for the size boat we wanted. (Spoiler alert: 40ft is too small for us!)

Day 1-3: Celebrated Bob's birthday in Telegraph Harbor and our 17 year wedding anniversary with breakfast in Montague Harbour. Sailed across the Trincomali Channel into Ganges Harbour for dinner.

Day 4-5: Learned of the Canada Day festivities today/tonight in Ganges and decided to stay at our anchorage one more night. This morning we enjoyed lunch and a stroll thru town exploring local stores and the Saturday market... wind picked up on the dingy ride back and I was soaked. Tonight, along with two hundred fellow boaters, we'll have a front row seat to the Salt Island fireworks display over the harbor.

Day 6: Topped off the fuel at the Van Isle Marina fuel dock then returned to the Port of Sidney Marina ending our 170nm trip. We checked the boat in, unloaded our gear and headed back to Seattle, WA.
