All are spectacular anchorages, each with uniquely beautiful parks and walks ashore. This cruise is planned with short inter-island hops to maximize your hammock time. We will meander south through the Gulf Islands, then north again home. Multi day stopovers at Pirates Cove and Winter Cove (for the Saturna Island Canada Day lamb BBQ/country fair -- not to be missed!).

Pot lucks, happy hours, and shoreside excursions will be arranged on an ad hoc basis between the boats. There are some restaurants and other facilities ashore at some destinations, check your cruising guides/charts.

What to expect for weather? According to the weatherunderground.com site, the historical summary for June 26 - July 04 is:
Temperature: Average High 71 F, Average Low 54 F. There is a 96% chance of a Warm Day (109 days out of 113 in historical record).
Wind: The Average Wind is 3 mph with a historical range of 0 mph to 9 mph.

Members may join for some or all of the cruise (of course).

rob's Gravatar NAVIGATION ERROR ON CHARTLET!

oops -- there is only one Pirates Cove. The southernmost one on the chartlet is really Montague Harbour on Galiano Island. I guess I need a proofreader!
