Great memories. Reminds me of a similar trip I took with my brother and our dad some 20 years ago. My dad caught a nice Ling Cod in the Straits of Georgia, we picked fresh oysters off the rocks in a little cove we anchored in plus, some Red Rock crabs and salad for dinner, quite the feast. An especially poignant memory, I lost my dad in 2013. Thanks so much….
So sorry about the loss of Griffin. I'm sitting with my 13-year old German Shorthair, Zoey. We lost her 2-year older brother, Scout, last year. Our dogs just don't last long enough.
.....along the cool sequestered vale of life they kept the noiseless tenor of their ways ....Thomas Gray. Peter, yourself and your Lovely Lady have bridged the years back to that quiet place with your peaceful tenor (s)....
excellent video, don't you wish life was always like this? Very classy acknowledgment of the comments about the griffin tribute too. Keep up the good work!
I always seem to have a beaming smile when watching your videos!! It’s probably bridge-ing the gap from everyday life . Great music, Amazing scenery and rainbow 🌈 ohh….and food. Ps who’s the most competitive peter you or lady Z……. Just wondering 👍
Well they say a bridge over troubled waters I think you have a bridge game to win yet against the loverly lady but atleast you spending quality time causing in such a beautiful place
What a place to cruise secret lil coves everywhere. Reminds me of the Marlborough Sounds in South Island of New Zealand which has the same deep water rocky coves and Bays. Smugglers Cove what a hoot of a place. Good to see someone BRIDGING the way with a proper use of a Drone and really well done. Was interesting to see the Drone following Lady Z about on her exploring. Bit concerned re the Pig population as you to devour copious amounts of Bacon but hey it is BACON. All good Carry on.
I there were YT oscars for best video this would be up there with them. Fantastic cinematography, Peter, made all the more glamorous by The Lady Z, of course. Oh, and is that your plucking the strings for atmosphere?
Griffin had the best family, environment, food and love. Not one of us can ask for more. He was a majestic and beautiful pup and I’m sure he ran across The Rainbow Bridge to meet Geordie. Amíg újra nem találkoztok (Hungarian for “Until you meet again”). Very beautiful and moving installment. Thank you.
So, will this be a "bridge to far", or a "bridge over troubled waters", or the "bridge" for your guitar. Maybe a musical "bridge" tying the composition together. Perhaps the "flying bridge" you are building on Geordie. Maybe I'm "bridging the the gap" here.
think you guys broke the code. sorry about the passing of your dog. just lost my pal Woodrow. he survived as a 3 legged dog for over a year. was a very active and happy pooch. smooth sailing. JDR
You’re more than welcome. Thank you for making the effort to bring your relationship and life style visible and emotionally physical. I want to live like this with my love.
Wow you folks really know how to live. Sorry for the passing of your pooch Lady Zepper I can imagine how you can get attached to those quiet animals. And Peter those drone shots were super,I am glad you got a new one.
The quality and beautiful scenery all stunning you both are making some of the best videos ever i rather watch this than anything and well i do be well safe and happy it hurt to see griffin im so sorry been there too many times
I’m 3 days into Covid, catching up on your past episodes. I hope to be crossing the bridge into feeling better soon!! Great music covers on your last few videos. BC is gorgeous!!
I would truly love to know who that Guitarist was. Thought it might be your own music. Beautiful choice. My favorite guitarist thats alive is Estas Tonne.
I was in Powell River and moored with @Faranda1937 and heard that they spent some serendipitous time with you in Smuggler’s Cove. Do you have any video of that wonderful classic MV? They enjoyed the time. Hope I get the same opportunity in the coming weeks. Peace to you
Watching your smugglers cove footage i was thinking- tough life, pal. But really it was but a welcome reprieve from the work you've been doing to what is yet to come. A bridge, if you will.
It is pretty much standard practice in the busier spots, during the summer season. You can crowd a lot of boats into small anchorage’s. I have been in Smugglers in early May, when an unforecast wind picked up to 30 + knots out of Northwest. With sideways pressure on boat, stern line and anchor, I began to get pushed close to beach. Turned stern line loose and boat swung safely away from shore and all was well. Another sailboat had similar problems, got his stern line off, pull the anchor and tried to reset a half dozen times, with no luck. We were both in the back cove, he ended up anchoring near the entrance. When he finally got settled he was facing east, wind was circling and coming in the back way. Blew all night. Both Pirates Cove, and Princess Cove both where a lot of stern anchoring is done have had their share of mishaps. I personally would rather swing, but being a good neighbor a will run a stern line, weather permitting, if not I go elsewhere.
13:07, got something in my eyes, had a hard time watching the rest. We sure are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world. I haven't been out boating in years, sure miss it. It is nice to be able to sit back and watch, you do such an awesome job Peter.
Great, Zephyrus has 400 watts of solar and 500 amp hours of battery reserve. We can carry on indefinitely in reasonably sunny weather. Our big draw is the fridge, but we love it!
Not sure why you talk about some big cruising plans in your future. I think you are living your perfect life already! Got it made and you don’t know it. Lol
Wow I'm very impressed with the quality of this cruising series. it was a delight to watch this episode. With all these stern ties you're doing lately you should just build a bridge so you can stroll ashore.
Peter watching you sail the dinghy was a bridge to yesteryear!! I was impressed with your mastery of the sails and tiller! As a youth you must have earned the Scouts Canada equivalent of the Small Boat Sailing Merit Badge!
More great music, and the drone shots were spectacular. The food looked awesome. I commend Lady Z on the seemingly endless capacity of her wine, beer and spirit locker. Enjoy the motoring. Will be in Vic in a couple weeks. Moving back in September! Look forward to catching up. Best to you both!
I hesitate to use "Bridge" because I've already won a t-shirt and give everyone else a chance to win as well. But on that note... I know that you've been cruising but I've yet to get an e-mail from you about my t-shirt. If you have responded, my apologies. My birthday is in June, (the month I won the shirt) and I would love to display my support for your channel to all of my friends and family. Thanks for another great video... Keep them coming.
Caught you quick today. 27 seconds on my tv. Thankfully you're not on a " Bridge Over Troubled Water " today. Weather here in South Georgia is off and on rain but mostly nice. Been soaking in the pool so I'm good. Take care, have fun and God bless

Lady Zephyr has a very comfortable home on the water.
A lovely video of the pair of you enjoying some time together in what appears to be a very serene spot
It's just delightful.
There could be a cooking show hidden in all of this? As well as what it's paired with! Woop Woop jalapeno margaritas!
Heh, more likely an eating show....
Ha
Nice video! The meals look yummy and the views are to die for. Nice change from my southern NM landscape.
Nice cinematography. You captured scenery and tranquility of the place.
I really like Lady Z’s boat ! It seems to have a wine cellar ! 🤪🤪🤪
You've really mastered those drone shots. Beautiful video.
Thanks, it's fun stuff.
Peter if you can’t win at backgammon maybe you should take up playing BRIDGE! Great epi you two. Looks really lovely.
Heh, I'm even less likely to win at bridge.
Y’all cook up some good looking grub!!!
I'm gonna ring the bell so I don't miss any more of your show. I may have to go back and bridge the gap of what I missed.
Thanks, both. Really enjoyed the vid. Great comments, too
1:20. Zephyrus looks great 🤗
Sorry to hear about your sad loss.
Heartfelt condolences on Griffin crossing the rainbow bridge
.....along the cool sequestered vale of life they kept the noiseless tenor of their ways ....Thomas Gray. Peter, yourself and your Lovely Lady have bridged the years back to that quiet place with your peaceful tenor (s)....
It is nice how you Bridge from a DYI to travels adventures. Looking forward to to the Bridge back to DYI when you return to Victoria.
excellent video, don't you wish life was always like this? Very classy acknowledgment of the comments about the griffin tribute too. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed the cruise almost as much as you
I can see the good life has arrived😉
Cool vacation and the FOOD WOW!!!!
Sp peaceful, thx Peter.
So beautiful .., you're both artists , thank you x.
4:00 I’m hungry!!!
I always seem to have a beaming smile when watching your videos!! It’s probably bridge-ing the gap from everyday life . Great music, Amazing scenery and rainbow 🌈 ohh….and food.
Ps who’s the most competitive peter you or lady Z……. Just wondering 👍
Thanks Stephen, Oh, most likely me....
Interesting beer have to keep my eye out for similar, great video very therapeutic.
thank you for all that you do for us
She sure can paddle very quickly!
Beautiful Dog,
Thank you Don
You may be torn but you've left us forlorn as we yearn for a word of the week.
YES!!!!
👍 from Algarve Portugal 🌞 culatra island 🏖⛵
The Food 😋
Loved going to Genoa Bay, was a restraunt there once.
Your drone camera work is getting sooo smooth!
Gorgeous Peter !
Thanks Richard.
All those lovely meals and no fresh caught fish? They're under the boat!
Well they say a bridge over troubled waters I think you have a bridge game to win yet against the loverly lady but atleast you spending quality time causing in such a beautiful place

Love ya words Lady Z
I there were YT oscars for best video this would be up there with them. Fantastic cinematography, Peter, made all the more glamorous by The Lady Z, of course. Oh, and is that your plucking the strings for atmosphere?
Heh, thanks Chris. Sadly, I just don't seem to be able to play anything for the show. Hopefully in time.
Thats the way life should be forever.
Have any of you shipwrights use Pliobond on decking instead of epoxy ? Flexible and can be laid down with fiberglass cloth, paintable too.
You had explained why you "bridge" the gap from the shore to the boats stern and you showed another boater how to do it.
Griffin had the best family, environment, food and love. Not one of us can ask for more. He was a majestic and beautiful pup and I’m sure he ran across The Rainbow Bridge to meet Geordie. Amíg újra nem találkoztok (Hungarian for “Until you meet again”). Very beautiful and moving installment. Thank you.
Beautiful words, thank you.
Around @9:30… that was beautiful…
A lovely spot
Never a.....Bridge two far when touring BC with these smashers xxx
Great video and the soundtrack is brilliant, any of your playing there Peter ? Enjoy !!
Thanks Darryl, no, I wish, but I just never get to play much.
Sorry about your mate, Griffin, Lady Z.
Thanks Brian
Dog shaped holes in our hearts are painful and precious for sure.
So, will this be a "bridge to far", or a "bridge over troubled waters", or the "bridge" for your guitar. Maybe a musical "bridge" tying the composition together. Perhaps the "flying bridge" you are building on Geordie. Maybe I'm "bridging the the gap" here.
Well bridged...
think you guys broke the code. sorry about the passing of your dog. just lost my pal Woodrow. he survived as a 3 legged dog for over a year. was a very active and happy pooch. smooth sailing. JDR
Inspirational and more. Well done
Thank you Paul

Beautiful music! Great video.

Thanks so much James
The beauty of the sunlight reflecting off the water is beautiful.
I’m 3 days into Covid, catching up on your past episodes. I hope to be crossing the bridge into feeling better soon!! Great music covers on your last few videos. BC is gorgeous!!
Beautiful drone shots. What a beautiful place
Thanks for sharing!
I would truly love to know who that Guitarist was. Thought it might be your own music. Beautiful choice. My favorite guitarist thats alive is Estas Tonne.
What a wonderful and warming episode. Love the soundtrack too!
Thanks Deke

Hi Charles, great folks. Sadly no footage.
Got your email, will send rough plans.
Yep! just gained another pound.
I don't dare get on a scale...
Great drone footage. The video is impeccable! What make, type are you using?
Thanks. DJI Mini 2
Since Peter isn't good at bakgammon maybe he woyuld do better at bridge = loved the episoden RIP Griffin!
Man you guys know how to relax. I could almost taste those burgers and the drone footage and music is off the hook!!!
I have to load up on my cholesterol medicine just to watch one of your episodes. 😳😳
Boy oh boy is that beautiful country. Thanks for taking me along. Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Watching your smugglers cove footage i was thinking- tough life, pal. But really it was but a welcome reprieve from the work you've been doing to what is yet to come. A bridge, if you will.
why do you feel a need to run an line to the shore to anchor?
It's standard practice here in these tight anchorages. No room to swing. plus it assures your anchor stays set .
It is pretty much standard practice in the busier spots, during the summer season. You can crowd a lot of boats into small anchorage’s. I have been in Smugglers in early May, when an unforecast wind picked up to 30 + knots out of Northwest. With sideways pressure on boat, stern line and anchor, I began to get pushed close to beach.

@@ds3552 thanks
What a stunningly beautiful part of the world you live in - thank you for sharing!
13:07, got something in my eyes, had a hard time watching the rest.
We sure are lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.
I haven't been out boating in years, sure miss it.
It is nice to be able to sit back and watch, you do such an awesome job Peter.
Me too
Peter how is the Solar power doing on the crews?
Great, Zephyrus has 400 watts of solar and 500 amp hours of battery reserve. We can carry on indefinitely in reasonably sunny weather.
Our big draw is the fridge, but we love it!
Not sure why you talk about some big cruising plans in your future. I think you are living your perfect life already! Got it made and you don’t know it. Lol
Heh, I suppose that's true.
You two need to do more videos together, beautiful video.
Hope in my next life, I meet you both. Your friendship makes me smile .
Do you have a Webcam on Geordie? Or Poem? And I have always wanted to learn how to play bridge.
Nothing like a good game of bridge on a rainy day. Great video Peter, enjoy the cruising!
Thanks Daryl
Is there a bridge across the straight?
Wow I'm very impressed with the quality of this cruising series. it was a delight to watch this episode. With all these stern ties you're doing lately you should just build a bridge so you can stroll ashore.
Heh, thanks mate!
i would be fishing
Here's to your videos bridge'ing the gap between us landlocked viewers and your West coast adventures. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Great Stuff. A Bimini is a perfect retainer of BBQ smoke.
losing a paet is a terrible thing. no one is any colser than they. Rest in pwace Griffin. Good Boy!
I just want to eat all of that sustenance
A beautiful and eloquent testament to Griffin from Lady Z.
Thanks for all the lovely footage ...just why I live here too!
PS A bridge from Craig?
You two make a great team.
You sure eat and drink well.
'All with beautiful scenery and boats
Beautiful and relaxing video Peter.
Everything about this video is beautiful. Well done. Both of you.
BC waters without bridges to stop me are definitely higher on the list with all your sharing.
Peter watching you sail the dinghy was a bridge to yesteryear!! I was impressed with your mastery of the sails and tiller! As a youth you must have earned the Scouts Canada equivalent of the Small Boat Sailing Merit Badge!
Ain't no doubt about it. That boat life looks pretty sweet.
I really like how this episode bridged the gap between Boatworks and fine dining. Cheers to you and Griffin, Lady Z!
I feel relaxed just watching you relax in smugglers cove,thanks for sharing
More great music, and the drone shots were spectacular. The food looked awesome. I commend Lady Z on the seemingly endless capacity of her wine, beer and spirit locker. Enjoy the motoring. Will be in Vic in a couple weeks. Moving back in September! Look forward to catching up. Best to you both!
Amazing life and times. So incredible, it seems like a bridge between earth and heaven

What a great area to go cruising so many places to go exploring.
Caught you quick today. 27 seconds on my tv. Thankfully you're not on a " Bridge Over Troubled Water " today. Weather here in South Georgia is off and on rain but mostly nice. Been soaking in the pool so I'm good. Take care, have fun and God bless
This video is a bridge between the time spent upside down in the bilge repairing something... and the bliss of motor cruising!
