I used to live in the west end of Vancouver near Stanley Park, and worked downtown at the Four Seasons Hotel. I am from the UK, and always have thought of Vancouver being one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where you can ski in the morning (Grouse Mountain) cruise in the afternoon to Indian Arm or Bowen Island, and go to a symphony orchestra concert in the evening, a rare combination of nature and culture all in one place. Thanks guys, to cruise up Indian Arm in your beautiful N43 is something close to paradise for me !
I motored up Indian Arm once a long time ago, and it happened to be when I was when I was working for the Four Seasons Hotel! We catered to a 145 ft motor-yacht in which the guests were toured to the head of False Creek at Science World near sundown, and then up the Arm after dark. So I didn't see much while on my (then) cigarette break on the bow. I don't remember the name of the yacht unfortunately. But Cheers!
A management agreement was signed between the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation and the Government of BC in 1998. The management board has equal representation from the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation and the BC Government to co-manage all aspects of the park and heritage area. It's just good to have Indigenous stories and names. Stunning ride guys great job!
British Columbia is the original first nations treaty given to all. First nations people as part of the BCNA act. The entire province should be owned by canadas natives.
"No high heels?" Yes sadly this is the case. Canada has had an issue with over-dressing for hikes and it has come to this. (said in jest of course) Love your show.
My wife and I and our dog use to do this trip almost every second weekend with our boat. It was a great day out from our False Creek moorage and there is a lot of water falls that you can get your boat up to really close. Should have gone to Twin Islands marine park in the arm it has a small dock that you can take your tender to, and its free. The Arm is a great place to cruise at any time of year but the summer is awesome
It's not often you could describe a cityscape beautiful but seen from the water it really is. BTW Elizabeth tell me you weren't still wearing your pj's when you cast off, those trousers (yes trousers, I'm english!) look suspiciously like lounge wear! Great video guys
Superb professional presentation combination of sights, music, and information, plus full sun. First Class!! Such a pretty area. Thanks for taking all of us along!!
My husband and I just started watching your videos. Very well done! Beautifully shot and great information. We are sort of biased as we live in Vancouver. ❤
Up on the rock face just south of granite falls (right)is a D9 Caterpillar that was crushed by a rock blasting accident when attempts were made to punch a road thru from belcarra , honey's doughnuts is a must have in deep cove (I live in North Vancouver )
Great show this week. Your photography, editing and narration is great. I am interested in the technical side of the boat. When Sean brings the water maker into service would be a topic of interest. Appreciate you both. Thank you for the time you invest.
I'm so glad you have come to Vancouver. Fun facts; that bridge you narrowly went under comes out from Thornton Tunnel, 3.4km all under homes. And our family took overnight mountain bike trips from the Wig to the Chief along the Sea to Sky highway. Switchback trail leading to a high elevation plateau.
I really appreciate your fact blurbs you do. It all takes time to research but you do a great job. Great editing chops too, dipping the sound for the voice overs. All in all a really enjoyable channel to watch. You guys will surely hit a half million subs someday.
Bridge clearances are marked on the chart and in Canada are measured from Higher High Water Large Tide (in meters). So you never have less clearance than what is marked on the chart.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experiences. Have you considered starting a boating channel that shares your extensive mariner knowledge? Systems, navigations, etc. I know a lot of people would enjoy that aspect also. Thank you again to both of you!!!
you found my secret hideaway but you missed Bedwell Bay across from Deep Cove great anchorage and really warm clean water in the summer. In the 70's Granite Falls was a tour boat stop with their own water wheel generator and buffet resturant and lots of docking but somehow a fire consumed it now its a regeonal park . thanks for the memory jog love your videos
We are very new to your channel Although for the last week I cannot stop watching your videos. Getting caught up from the beginning of journey too late. Excellent videos please keep them coming. So nice to see a happy classy couple making beautiful videos.
Awesome! I trucked the Pacific Northwest for fifteen years and I could only endure that because of the scenery and occasional mini-adventures I experienced; I'd like to explore the west coast and beyond in an explorer like you guys are doing!
Great video, Indian Arm is near my house. Sail, power, paddle, nearby hiking...super spot, very thankful to have it nearby. You can have the bridge raised, hail CN Rail Bridge on 12; they usually lift in a few minutes if no train. If a train is coming, they'll tell you 10 mins or whatever.
Wow! That was so awesome the video you captured going under the bridge - GreatJob! Also, what beautiful weather and the scenery was just stunning. PeaceAndLove Lori
Love watching your videos! You have excellent videography skills, in-depth information about what you see and do, plus, your narration is top-notch. Great humour too. Thank you for all the effort and hard work you put into your channel. P.S. I’m curious as to how you go about choosing the music you use.
The music choice comes after I got thru all the footage and determine what the “feel of the video” will be. If parts feel more light hearted, I look for those…if they evoke more emotion or have beautiful scenery I go for more cinematic or inspirational songs. Epidemic Sound is great for music!
Thank you! I grew up in North Vancouver, my sister still lives there along the inlet. Moving back some day soon. Indian Arm and Deep Cove are a couple gems for sure. Hope you got donuts they are the bomb too. Thanks again!
Thanks for the information. I have sailed this area many times with the RCN, however I did not know about the power plants. Love your videos. Living my dream through your eyes. Many thanks. Bravo Zulu. Cheers.
I'm so glad I found your channel because I follow a crap-ton of sailing channels, it's nice to find an excellent power vessel channel. Keep up to videos for at least my pleasure...😬
Agreed, I subscribe to 110 TH-cam for aviation & boating. The narration and storytelling are the best. I hope academic institutions are using these videos as positive examples🙂.
Dear Elizabeth and Shawn, I have been following you from the Netherlands for quite some time. I enjoy every vlog. They look beautiful. Again this one. What an incredibly beautiful environment. Know how much work it takes to do this over and over again. That's why I wanted to get rid of this. Thanks!! greetings William
Glad to see some videos in BC! We scratched the surface with Vancouver and Desolation Sound last summer but know we have so much more to see! -Ark Angel, Lake Union
Just a heads up that Quarry Rock is officially closed to tourists to let the trail recover - the signs sometimes get removed by anarchic mountain bikers so its not surprising you didn't see them, but perhaps you could just add a line to your posting advising people NOT to try the Quarry Rock trail at the moment. Thanks!
Have not seen one of your vlogs in quite some time. The progress you have made in videography, sound, writing, etc. is impressive. Kudos to the both of you ... well done.
Great job you guys love the video love Nordhovin’s I must’ve polished and detailed over 100 Nordhovin since I was 30 years old and now I’m 60 all the way from California to Florida Vancouver Seattle have enjoyed all the owners and spend very much time detailing and teak and some service things and just been a great time great memories

@@pubfixture Excellent reply, thank you. I worked at the Four Seasons in 1987, when Ruy Paes-Braga was GM, Happy days ! Cheers to you too !
Nice video again Elizabeth. You could create your own travel channel or do the voice over for other channels. Happy boating MV Freedom.😊
This is just a TINY TINY TINY TINYYYY sample of what B.C. has to offer !
I live here, am a boater, and looove it
N Van boy here (now in SE Asia) loved summertime boating & hiking up Indian Arm, you guys made it look great in winter too

Hey I went to high school with you.....wvss
British Columbia is the original first nations treaty given to all. First nations people as part of the BCNA act. The entire province should be owned by canadas natives.
Maybe we just enjoy the boating and leave the politics out, isn’t that why we’re watching this?
"No high heels?" Yes sadly this is the case. Canada has had an issue with over-dressing for hikes and it has come to this. (said in jest of course) Love your show.

Yep those are my pjs 😉
Tony & Susan here, your videography is exceptional, your lighting and sound are spot on. The narration is interesting and fun. Great work kiddo
Well observed Tony and Susan. I concur.
Superb professional presentation combination of sights, music, and information, plus full sun. First Class!! Such a pretty area. Thanks for taking all of us along!!
The fact that you're cruising there in the winter is a testament to how tough Freedom is as well as the two of you. Well done.
My husband and I just started watching your videos. Very well done! Beautifully shot and great information. We are sort of biased as we live in Vancouver. ❤
Absolutely love the life your living.....best wishes from here in the UK......
I used to wakeboard in Bedwell Bay up Indian arm when I was a kid.
She is an excellent narrator!
Up on the rock face just south of granite falls (right)is a D9 Caterpillar that was crushed by a rock blasting accident when attempts were made to punch a road thru from belcarra , honey's doughnuts is a must have in deep cove (I live in North Vancouver )
Yeah we gotta go back this summer for donuts!

Dang!! That does look like a good sammich! I think Miss Martha agrees!
Hard for me to comment on perfection.
I have no words to describe what I just saw.
Sheer natural beauty that leaves you speechless.
So well done.
Great video; the editing was top-notch.
I really appreciate your fact blurbs you do. It all takes time to research but you do a great job. Great editing chops too, dipping the sound for the voice overs. All in all a really enjoyable channel to watch. You guys will surely hit a half million subs someday.
Really surprised there was not a marker on that bridge showing minimum hight at high tide. Should of been on your map though.
Elizabeth, Your videos and narration are additive, such amazing destinations. I wonder how many hours you put on the engine annually? Safe travels
Wish I could leave 2👍👍❣❣ Great video, information and views! I can't wait to see more of your awesome Canadian/PNW adventures! 🌄🛥 Thank you❣
Stunning views with great cinematography backed up by excellent information, great job guys.....best vlog
Great video. That sandwich looked so good. The fjord is pretty neat. Vancouver BC is so special. Thanks for sharing.
FYI: monitor ch 12 VHF, harbour traffic; call out to “Second narrows bridge” upon approach and ask for a lift, they raise the bridge when needed.
Not sure if the perfect audio was better that the perfect video or the perfect channel.
Wow you’re too kind 😉
Bridge clearances are marked on the chart and in Canada are measured from Higher High Water Large Tide (in meters). So you never have less clearance than what is marked on the chart.

Excellent videos please keep them coming. So nice to see a happy classy couple making beautiful videos.
You got it! Great photos, especially the drones or did you have a friendly helio. Been there, did that. Wonderful narration. Keep it up.
I don't blame you guys!.......I wouldn't be in a hurry to cruise Mexico now ,either!.....
Could never do what you but SURE enjoy watching what you do
Great trip. Never realised that Fjord was so close and so scenic!
Awesome! I trucked the Pacific Northwest for fifteen years and I could only endure that because of the scenery and occasional mini-adventures I experienced; I'd like to explore the west coast and beyond in an explorer like you guys are doing!

The history on the buildings was pretty interesting! Great video.
What a super nice cruise! The views were awesome!
Very nice tour.
I would think there should be some sort of nifty gadget that measures bridge heights for boat clearance. No?
Wow! That was so awesome the video you captured going under the bridge - GreatJob!
Also, what beautiful weather and the scenery was just stunning.
PeaceAndLove
Lori
Loved the video, but that music at the end😮
Masterful- just beautiful winter cruising . You do such a good job.
thank you for the water tour of our hometown

So relaxing to watch. You two and Tony Fleming make such enjoyable cruising videos. Stay warm and safe.
We love Tony’s videos…if only we had his voice 😉
@@mvfreedom I find Liz's voice equally pleasing to Tony.
@@mvfreedom I also like Sue Grant from Berthon International. Keep the videos coming.
I really enjoy the sight seeing fun facts tour! Please please keep those type of videos coming!
Thank you! I grew up in North Vancouver, my sister still lives there along the inlet. Moving back some day soon. Indian Arm and Deep Cove are a couple gems for sure. Hope you got donuts they are the bomb too. Thanks again!
We almost got donuts but decided to “stay strong” and not blow the calorie budget for the day 😉
@@mvfreedom With that hike? I'd say you guys can both afford it ;)
Used to live in Deep Cove so it was great to see the old stomping grounds. Thanks for the trip down memory lane
Loved this video. Too short though. 😊
Thanks for the information. I have sailed this area many times with the RCN, however I did not know about the power plants. Love your videos. Living my dream through your eyes. Many thanks. Bravo Zulu. Cheers.
try dipping into Lake Tahoe in February! I did that! Once! That was enough for this lifetime. Nothing else to prove.

Nice bit of winter cruising, great episode.
You guys seem like you're having so much fun these days. Great to see! Just keep on having fun.
Oh, I forgot to say beautiful video and video editing. Stunning views.
Beautiful locations! Keep making the videos!
French creek a good spot too
I just watched a documentary. Beautiful.
Brilliant, thank you
Thank You you made my day.
There used to be a tv show filmed in deep cove called danger bay back in the late 70s or early 80s.
Indian Arm is definitely beautiful. I visited during summer and it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful. I love your video! Happy new year!
Awesome I’ve been there quite a few times my sister belong to the Vancouver yacht club, thanks for bringing back great memories.
NICE CRUISE UP THE ARM AND GREAT SCENERY AND HISTORY. ENJOYED IT.
Thank you ... Great video
Beautyful......greetings from the Netherlands
Good Cruise!! Liked it. Way to make the best of a cool few days. I like that you made the most of it for water too. Good Job. Take care.
Glad to see some videos in BC! We scratched the surface with Vancouver and Desolation Sound last summer but know we have so much more to see!
-Ark Angel, Lake Union
As you say, the cruising in the Northwest is some of the best in the world. This was a wonderful video and full of information
I grew up on Indian Arm while visiting the WigWam Inn (even when we were allowed). Beautiful place
excellent video nice views and interesting information about the area thank you
Love your videos. The drone video of your boat is very cool. You guys are living the life. I'm very jealous. Pat in Central California.
Thanks for all of your great content. I am working up my summer Canadian cruising plans and your travels are working their way into my plans.
Just a heads up that Quarry Rock is officially closed to tourists to let the trail recover - the signs sometimes get removed by anarchic mountain bikers so its not surprising you didn't see them, but perhaps you could just add a line to your posting advising people NOT to try the Quarry Rock trail at the moment.

Dbl. thumbs up. Just beautiful; and informative to boot :)
Another awesome and super interesting video! Thanks so much for sharing!😊

Your channel popped up so gave it a watch and low and beyond in one shot I see my dad’s boat. New subscriber now
Nice place looking like Norway a little bit
Love Granville.
Once again love the videos❤ we just need to go boating more so many things to go see.
Exactly!

Thank you for sharing.I love all you share :)
What a fabulous area. Thanks for taking us along!
Now that your up north that far and like water falls don't forget Chatterbox Falls up Princess Louisa Inlet. Watch the tide going in.
Stay tuned for Princess Louisa and more great places!
Thank you guys for Indian Arm...
Great shots!
It's so beautiful up there that I want to come up for a visit. 🤠
