Hi! We're Allison & James 👋 a Canadian Aussie duo who left the conventional life behind to live an adventure-based alternative lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest!

Continually chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path & living a more sustainable, self-sufficient life.
We'd love for you to join us!

It’s amazing that you can sail from one unbelievably beautiful place to another up there and still have it pretty much to yourselves… all while eating some of the best seafood the world has to offer, lol!!
Isn't it! Just the most amazing cruising area, where the heck is everyone?!!!
@allisonandjamessailing ... Shush!! We don't want the word to get out too much. ;-)
haha@@meestahwah there is enough to share. But hey it's probably too cold (not enough beaches) for most folks
I like Allison’s way of eating crab
haha you feel me! Another vote for crack & pile 👉
I can only say that I’ve only enjoyed eating Dungeness. I reflect back to when we visited Tofino and I asked the merchant on the dock how to cook a Dungeness. We were
newbies to British Columbia let alone the west coast and so I knew nothing. So, this person told me as she picked up this large Dungeness to knock it between the lookers. Apparently, I had a very confused look on my face. After all, I had just graduated from the RCMP Depot training world on the prairies after having grown up in southwestern Ontario. And so, she in her extreme level of patience demonstrated where the horn was between the eyes (lookers), imbedded an axe in a stump and caught the crabs horn on the tip of the axe thus lifting the entire shell and killing the crab instantly. She lifted the shell, cleaned the guts and then split the body in half over the blade of the axe. I was enthralled for sure. What a shame our today’s technology didn’t exist back in 1983. But, we picked up some crab and knocked them between the lookers when we got back home in QB. They were delicious for sure.
We have not seen our sailboat since before the wildfires here in the Shuswap this past August and so are looking forward to getting to Deep Bay to clean her up. Our goal is to mirror your explorations or perhaps stray somewhat and perhaps make our way into the Bering or further. We are certainly older than you guy’s hovering around 70. But, what’s in a number right?
Anyways, we are certainly enjoying your exploits and perhaps someday we will meet in person somewhere along the shores of this beautiful coastline. Regards, Larry and Marianne
Haha! Wow Tofino gal definitely had a knack for taking care of Dunges proper, impressive!🪓 Just a number is right, stoked about those plans you guys! Hope you can get back to and out on your boat soon! And yes we’d love to cross paths in an anchorage one day soon, cheers!
Much respect to you both for recognizing and respecting the importance of the indigenous peoples of the region.
Washtė ! ( Lakota expression meaning, it is good … at least that is how I understand the meaning )
Gilakas’la thank you 😊
That inlet you were anchored out in is pronounced Kwaw - Koom . We used to pull in there in my salmon seining days . We never got any crabs there either . Not too crabby a spot I guess .One time we were heading in there for the night a seiner ahead of us bounced over that rock . A few boats have hit it apparently .i really enjoy watching your videos . They bring back many many good memories of my time fishing the central coast .
Kwaw-Koom! Drop the e, thank you for this!!! I had a feeling that rock got a lot of folks, didn't want it to get us haha
So glad you're enjoying the videos. Sharing them and reading comments/stories like this about the places we visit enriches the experience for us too, so thank you for that!
Thanks so much for another great episode and for doing such a great job of portraying the PNW for the awesome place that it is!!!
Awh, thank you so much for that! We really care about this place
James getting soaked 😂 the sound of the rain is calming asmr, and as he said it cleaned the boat! 😁
haha, I really appreciated his positive attitude that day, just happy to finally have some wind! And yes a good wash down the boat (and us)! haha
Fantastic episode. History and culinary wonders in one episode! (Somewhere in her RV, Jenny A. Is smiling)
haha indeed! heavy on the historic & culinary wonders this epi, thank you!
Hello from Victoria BC Canada , enjoy watching the show so far and currently playing catch up . We are helping a guy that works for my brother move his sail boat the Balderdash from Sooke to Maple Bay . Find myself watching thease sailing shows to get a little sail savey . Safe travels .
In March 2024 .
Thanks for saying hello, Colin! So glad you're enjoying the vids! Maple Bay is a nice area we almost moved our boat there for a stint when James and I were both working at the hospital in the Cowichan Valley. Happy to answer any sailing related questions you might have. Cheers and thanks for being here!
Awesome segment you two. Even having lived both on the coast and the interior of BC, I had no idea that clay existed. You guys just expand my understanding of this great province weekly. 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! We knew nothing about this place before turning up here. We went down a deep clay rabbit hole and it was fascinating haha such a neat spot, we learned a lot!
@@AllisonandJamesSailing Well again, I so enjoyed this segment. You two cover and expand some major pieces of informational history and much more. It’s hard to elaborate on. I keep making notes for my/our northern adventure from Deep Bay. I’d love to tie up at Tuktuyuktuk.
@@theboakster Thank you! Stoked you'll be heading up here on your own adventure. The place you mentioned is NWT yeah? You eyeing the Northern Passage route?
We love the beauty and the gentleness of your channel!
You inspired me to make gravalax in this episode. Delicious would be an understatement. Orgasmic isn’t a word I’d use to describe a meal, but it truly was as close to orgasmic as I’ve ever been through taste. Thank you and thank you.
Awee yess so happy you made it & enjoyed it this much! Love to hear it. Thank you for watching!!
Great video. You’ve done my Province Proud
Awe, thank you so much! We really care about this coast
You guys deserve sponsorships, your content is high quality and amazing! Happy October, hope you’re enjoying the fall season 🤎🧡💛
Awe thanks so much Caroline! We'll have to start reaching out to folks for sponsorship soon.
And Happy Fall to you! It's our fave time of the year 😊
Another awesome video, yes the salmon, wow great, hey who forgets their coat, lol lol. The meals look great, I'm with Allison Crack it all then sit back and enjoy, I have mine dipped in hot garlic butter. It's great.
Thanks again
haha right?! WHO forgets their coat?! Team Allison all the way!
Great video! Would be awesome if you keep including your food recipes too! Everything always looks delish especially considering you don’t have refrigeration. Happy sailing!
Glad you're enjoying it! James and I both really enjoy making food, we'll continue to include that in the videos. Thanks so much!
Love seeing the food you make 🔥
I'm glad! I use to share more food/nutrition related stuff on insta.. maybe i'll revive that
You guys should go with AG 1 most of the other cruisers go with them I’ve been on them for almost a year and they’re amazing. That was a beautiful video again as always. Thank you so much. 💜🤟🏻🐬⛵️😎🇺🇸Liz
Always so nice hearing from you, thank you for being here & supporting us!
Ya, I'm on Alison's team for crab eating. maybe its the food service back ground lol
I knew i wasn't the only one! I like to do all the work then enjoy the fruits of my labor haha
Cool did not know about the gravlax, that's really useful. Nice trip guys! Hope you avoided that big storm the other day. I heard 70 knots reported in Juan de fuca strait.
Glad you enjoyed that! It’s our go to way for making best use of a fresh salmon!
Yikes! Ya that was a decent one! It was blowing real good up here as well! Def wouldn’t want to be caught out in that😅
Great episode, been a while since I've watched you guys. Allison great job on the camera, felt like I was there. Congrats on the salmon, James was stoked. James you can always fall back on being a chef, I still have to try yeast in my panny cakes. Thanks again.
Thank you, stoked to hear from you again!
Gosh i just realized we didn't make a single pancake this szn..
Well thats something you'll have to remedy@@AllisonandJamesSailing
I eat my crab like James. I usually start with the smallest leg and work my way up to the pinchers. Then I eat the apron... yummy!!!
Nice, I can get down with that strategy.. save the best for last!
I did not know about gravlax, it looks great (and those bagels looked awesome!). Kudos to you for the land acknowledgment at the end.
Other than smoking (which you can't do in the summer with fire ban) t's our go to way for eating fresh salmon. Glad you enjoyed it!
Allison & James, hi from Calgary. Thanks for that all your episodes in fact. A chill couple sailing a reasonable boat up BC waters taking it ass it comes. More concerned with enjoying each others company, sailing and adventure in the Pacific NW than anything else. The food my gosh kudos to both of you. Time for the 'Cooking w/Allison & James Show'. A part of the world you can get lost on purpose in or lost with a few other boats. But very definitely waters you have to know how to sail its serious water.
I've grown tired of those Caribbean waters only channels, yammering on about their new 5M custom built Cat that takes more time for warranty maintenance haul outs than enjoying the sailing. Well done totally enjoyable (Young Cruisers Best New Channel vote yes,)
Hi Rick! Thank you so much for the kind words, that’s a nice way of surmising what we’re about! Really glad you’re enjoying what we’re making (the food and the vids)! This is a beautiful area of the world to cruise and we figured if we wanted to watch videos about it, then others would too! Thanks for being here, cheers!
Very nice🎉 thanks
The great outdoors there has a lot offer,, and you two are eating well thanks to a combined effort, the pink salmon we get here is the most expensive and is very tasty, oh and I nibble my crab while cracking shell 😊
Food is so good out on the water
Agreed, it's a pretty satisfying feeling to get to enjoy a beautiful fish that you've caught, filleted and prepared with your own hands, fresh from the sea. A deep level of appreciation & gratitude for the salmon and the nourishment it provides. Thank you for watching!
Love it.. another great episode!
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers Jeff!
What a beautiful coast with so many intriguing places to visit and shared by two wonderful people.
Thank you so much Peter! Hope you are getting to enjoy some adventures as of late :)
After watching a few of your videos I can definitely see the appeal of sailing. I can also see that I am way too lazy to live on a sailboat. I will stick to motor yaughts. Oh to be young again.
Haha it’s definitely a lot of work!! Way more than we even show. Keeps you young tho, cheers!
I have eaten a lot of crab growing up in the bay, so have tried both methods tons of times. I'm a cut up my entire pancake/waffle then eat it kind of guy but I'm with James on this one. The crab is warm when you eat it as you pick it because it's shell keeps it insulated. Eating a pile of cold crab is definitely not the vibe lol and for some reason it's flavour seems to be ever so slightly different if you stock pile it
hahah, another point for James!
Loved the footage of the square run. And sorry Allison ill have to side with James on the correct way to eat crab ... eat as you shell. Not that I mind which way you eat it as long as i dont have to ... tastes just lie the ocean ... yuk
Hahaha give it a shot! You might enjoy it more than you think ♥️♥️♥️
Enjoyed your episode so much! I absolutely love the beauty of the area you all are and especially from the perspective of sailing into these areas. Thank you for sharing!
So glad! We're obsessed with this area, so much beauty. We really enjoy sharing it with you
You should get a cooler refrigerator. They consume very little power, they run on 30 degree angles no problem and they are only a couple hundred bucks. It was a game changer for my sailboat.
Thank you for the recommendation! We've got one in the works :)
You guys are living the life. That swimming looked magical 💕🥹
Beyond grateful for this life lately! It felt good to get all that salt off after a few days of sailing haha
This is an awesome episode. Next year is my year to visit. I have some upgrades and maintenance on my (new to me) boat and I'm going up through there too..
Stoked for you to get to experience it! Will you be heading to the Central Coast or all the way to Alaska?
All the way to Alaska. @@AllisonandJamesSailing
@@wayneneuhofel6744 Awesome! Maybe we will cross paths along the way :)
I would eat my crab like James savoring and sucking every bit of juice out each claw before moving on to the meatier parts. Love the cooking episodes. James you live for the moment and not thinking about a raincoat until it rains 🤪 Love you guys
haha very descriptive about your process there Barb, it's definitely a delicacy to be savored thoroughly! We need some nice Musto like you guys👌
I don’ t have a philosophy about eating crab. I cannot remember ever eating crab, fresh. I have had a tiny tin of crab paste, but that is as close as I could get here in Melbourne.
Awh, we’ll we hope you get to enjoy a fresh crab eating experience soon! We hope we do too, since we’re not having much luck catching any out here so far this szn!
Crikey! I can’t remember tasting crab.
Oi, you can’t remember what you’re missin!
Those bagels look fantastic! But you never told us how well the blown-insulation worked with your top-feeding frig. Can you let us know?
It worked great!! Can keep an ice block for a good few days now. But accessing it while cooking is challenging. Always worried about Al catching her hair on fire 😅 We actually just made another top-loading one to pull out from under the stove. We’ll chat about it in an episode coming up, cheers!
Wow you guys are so far up north. One day we will have to get our boat up there ( we are in Vancouver). That salmon looked delicious indeed.
When was that?
Hope you get to experience it up here someday soon, it's glorious!
Felt reel good to land that salmon! This was filmed at the end of July
@@AllisonandJamesSailing Thanks!
The dream would be :
Van to Port Hardy: One week, more if we "cruise" our way there.
PH to Prince Rupert, same timeframe.
Maybe using a crew if we could not spare the time.
Then cruising around for a few season and getting the boat back to Vancouver.
But truly that is dreaming!
You are blessed to be up there and make a living while cruising.
My wife and I are 50/50 on eating crab. I'm a crack and pile and she's a eat as she goes.
haha! Crack & pile, that's amazing. There are a few of us out there!
Did the vote come in 4 yr channel?
Yes, I’m curious about that too. How do we check?
I tried to g-it but didnt find it.@@theboakster
@cherevas1 @theboakster no unfortunately young cruisers association did not pick us 👎🏽
