    Great to see some local folks making it down the coast! Can't wait to get our boat out there. I miss the California coast. Have great memories of crewing on the American Tallship Lady Washington and sailing her down from Washington to California back in 2014, there are so many wonderful little harbours on that coast, and San Francisco is really special. Enjoy it. We are hoping to have our boat ready in 4-5 years to make the jump to the south Pacific.

    Some advice.....I would take the winches off the mast and put them near the cockpit. That's what I did.
    Better to stay safe in the cockpit during a storm and high winds!

    Happy Sailing and stay safe!

    Because of the high cost of medical insurance and general unwelcoming vibe toward transient boaters I'm considering trying the BC to Ensenada passage in one straight shot without landing in the USA, did you have problems with people trying to get you to move out of anchorages? Mind sharing your medical insurance costs? Thanks for sharing your adventure. I like how your humour doesn't seem forced.

    • @sailingtaku
      @sailingtaku  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello! We definitely did not feel any sort of hostility or unwelcoming vibe from border officials or locals while sailing through the US. If anything it was the opposite. We checked in at Port Angeles, and the agents were extremely friendly and helpful. Some anchorages have a maximum amount of days you can stay and that is just to limit people squatting there.
      I think the trip would be much more enjoyable stopping along the way IMO. You would also need a very big weather window to go direct to Ensenada which can be hard to find but doable! We met some other cruisers who planned to go direct to Ensenada but ended up having to stop twice due to weather.
      As far as medical insurance we used “World Nomads” and specified that we are “sailing outside of coastal waters” for 2 people it was roughly $900 CAD for 3 months but it depends on your age and health status! Luckily we had no claims to submit but it was nice to have the peace of mind :)
      All in all our experience was very positive and we also had similar concerns to yours in mind before leaving but we had a pleasant experience :) don’t miss out on the beauty of West Coast of the US 🐬☀️🐬
