Chapter 1 - Leaving the Dock

We leave our Marina in Maple Bay and head out for the summer, heading north. We cross the Strait of Georgia and begin our trek up to Princess Louisa. We visit Jedediah Island and Dark Cove along the way and try our luck at Prawning and Fishing.

Couldn't stop laughing at those killer prawns!

Great videos! It would be interesting if you could do a short video of your boat specs. Motor size, boat length, water and fuel capacity, and the electronics etc. Again great videos and very interesting.

[@OurSailingAdventures]

Happy you like em! Ive thought of doing a boat specs vid, maybe when we're done our trip this fall, pretty busy cruising right now.

Very well done for a first episode.
Its interesting watching you learn about sailing as you go.
I also like how you trace out your route at the end of the episode.

Hello, is this the pilothouse version? If so, do you ever use the inside steering station?

[@OurSailingAdventures]

Hi, Yes it is the Truant Pilothouse 37', and yes I use the inside steering station all the time, its great in cold or wet weather.

They allow liveaboards at Maple Bay?
And you're from Castlegar? What a change in lifestyle.

[@OurSailingAdventures]

Yes they do allow liveaboards. It was quite a change in life, but was a good experience.

[@nonimus2030]
